A fact from Larch Wood (Railway Cutting) Cemetery appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 May 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Larch Wood (Railway Cutting) cemetery in Belgium was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and contains the grave of the playwright Alan Bennett's uncle?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/May.

Railway cutting?

What's with the parenthesis on (Railway cutting)? I did a little search myself, and came up with this this page which uses the parenthesis, but the picture of the front gate does not use them. -Mulder416 09:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's the official title - CWGC website. Usually, when a CWGC cemetery has a name in brackets, it means it was known by two names during the war; or that it had a nickname the troops used but a real name used on official maps (the nickname going in brackets).

So you get Larch Wood (Railway Cutting), Perth (China Wall) and Welsh (Caesar's Nose). But I agree, the actual entrance to the cemetery doesn't use brackets. However, the CWGC themselves have said that there is "no significance" to the layout of cemeteries, the carvings or the formats of any elements of any CWGC burial ground. I think they mean "these things happen"! ➨ ≡Я Ξ DVΞRS≡ 10:34, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
