The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.[1] FoundationThe cemetery, near Ploegsteert ("Plug Street" to the common soldier of the time), is one of the smaller of the 23000 cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission,[2] with just 85 graves.[3] They date from the outbreak of the Battle of Messines.[4] References1. ^First World War, accessed 19 August 2006 2. ^{{cite book | last = Summers | first = Julie | title = Remembered | publisher = Merrell | location = London | year = 2007 | isbn = 1-85894-374-4 }} 3. ^Commonwealth War Graves Commission, accessed 13 October 2007 4. ^firstworldwar.com, accessed 13 October 2007 External links{{commonscat|Mud Corner Cemetery}}
