Comments :

This place is indeed THE place to be. Please note that the car parking is situated in the Vijfwegestraat.

In the Westhoek : this is the graveyard with most individual VC graves : 3. There are also 3 VC holders mentioned on the panels.

On a panel a VC holder can be identified by the “V.C.” in front of his name.

Note that the register of the panels is not located at the entrance but  in the left tower of the memorial.

Panel 52 is located in the first courtyard of the memorial starting from the left, see below picture. When entering, you will see right in front a kind of altar, the panel is the one right above it as indicated in below picture.

Clamp is mentioned in the below left corner of the panel, see red rectangle in picture.
