Belgian Battlefields
... and moved to nearby cemeteries. Many other artifacts are now stored in the Flander's Fields Ieper Museum. Now there is a reconstructed zig zag trench showing the entry and exit to the underground tunnel network which was marked at ground level by gravel pathways. We were pleased we had persisted and found this site. After this we easily found Hill 60 and enjoyed a walk over this uneven ground. Amazing to be on the site of such military significance and story captured is in major ...
