    Hiking

    Walk towards the castle and take the second path to the right. At the pond, take the grass path to the left, up to the graceful pond wall. (12) On October 4, 1917, the Australian Alexander Bethune was killed near the castle pond. His comrades place a memorial cross on this spot with his name and those of three others. Alexander's body is not recovered or identified after the war. That is why he is on the Menin Gate today, on panel 23 D.
