Bennett Posted 26 July , 2014 Share Posted 26 July , 2014 It has been many years for me since, but does anyone recall the name of the lodging accommodation located on the southwest corner of the CWGC Tyne Cot cemetery which was run by a Flemish woman? Can't seem to locate it online so it may have ceased operation> Thanks Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjk Posted 26 July , 2014 Share Posted 26 July , 2014 I can't help you with the name Ralph, but I do remember about 10 years ago visiting Tyne Cot on a very cold 11th November. She was giving out free mugs of hot soup to all-comers, what an angel ! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 26 July , 2014 Share Posted 26 July , 2014 It's called De Klaproos, Ralph. The current owner is Marijke, daughter of the lady you remember. www.deklaproos.com English version available. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett Posted 26 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 26 July , 2014 Thank You very much. Good to hear she is still there. I was last there last on New Year's Eve 2000 and climbed on the Tyne Cot Cross as 2000 arrived, surrounded by a 360 view of fireworks. Gave the illusion of being in an artillery barrage Thanks again Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
