Belgian Battlefields
... in arms once dead in the ground. Some pretty autumn colours in some of the trees at the back of this cemetery. A moving but peaceful visit. Sat Nav had difficulty directing us to Talbot House Museum in the centre of Poperinge as a set of one way streets had her beaten. Eventually we parked and walked into the centre of town only to find the museum closed -another disappointment. Headed north to find a second German cemetery near Vladslo. Major frustration here as we had ...
Row upon row they rest

Here lie thousands of soldiers and in addition tens of thousands of names on walls of men who have no known grave ... names of those dead soldiers that could not fit on the walls of the Menin Gate in Ieper.

It is set on one side amongst a few houses but sheltered from them by a high wall and on the other overlooking the open green countryside ...
Remembering WW-I history.....
... six or more soldiers buried under a single headstone. Just inside the entrance, there’s a large square garden area, which is surrounded by small concrete blocks with a metal plate fastened to each one. Just underneath the garden area, lies a large concrete burial crypt where over 25,000 German soldiers are interred. The metal plates contain the names of those who rest in this crypt. One interesting anomaly is that there are two British Soldiers buried ...
