Comments :

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

 This VC grave is probably one of the most visited, because it is situated just in front of 1 of the bunkers.

I think that most of the visitors do not realise that there are 2 more VC holders graves.

In the Westhoek : this is the graveyard with most VC graves : 3. There are also 3 VC holders mentioned in the Tyne Cot Memorial sections.

At the bottom of this page you will more info, but it’s in Dutch; my special thanks to Mr. Bart Degroote for this document.
