zijde26 Posted 25 September , 2004 Share Posted 25 September , 2004 Some Belgian newspapers reported last week : the ' Scherpenberg ' is for sale. Does anyone know more about this ? Thanks. Gilbert Deraedt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 25 September , 2004 Share Posted 25 September , 2004 Gilbert, I don't know more than what my newspaper (Het Nieuwsblad) said. I'll make a scan and send it to you off Forum. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Woerkom Posted 26 September , 2004 Share Posted 26 September , 2004 Gilbert and Aurel, I am puzzled. What is (the) Scherpenberg? Enlighten this poor man. Regards, Fred van Woerkom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 26 September , 2004 Share Posted 26 September , 2004 A hill north-west of Kemmel Hill and south-west of Ypres. It was the scene of the last throes of the German Flanders offensive in April, constituting the Battle of Scherpenberg. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 26 September , 2004 Share Posted 26 September , 2004 Here is the Estate Agent's map, July 1918. The Germans finally decided that the price was too high. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
