Seadog Posted 13 February , 2012 Share Posted 13 February , 2012 These images are remarkable, many thanks for posting them. Post 203 of Hill 60 is very interesting. What a deeply unpleasant task it must have been to remove the German dead from the cemeteries pictured to the few that we see today. Who undertook this task, the Germans?.

Cnock Posted 14 February , 2012 Author Share Posted 14 February , 2012 Norman, post 203 shows a museum, during the Interbellum there were many scattered German cemeteries. In the years 1950 graves were concentrated at Vladslo, Menen, Langemark and Hooglede Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egbert Posted 14 February , 2012 Share Posted 14 February , 2012 Egbert, Komen is indeed Comines Eddy I asked as I have a 1914 picture from the Comines church, but it does not match the one you have posted under Komen. I see that Comines is a border town and has the same name in Belgium and in France. So would you say I own the French Comines church picture in case you have posted the Belgium one ?
