John(txic) Posted 10 November , 2022 Share Posted 10 November , 2022 One and all, Your views, please. The ridge here was the objective of the 4th Worcesters on 29th September 1918; map square k.31.a, Sheet 28 NW. My question is: was this a roadside cafe pre-1914?

John(txic) Posted 10 November , 2022 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2022 Presumably from the spelling that is a German postcard. nd isn't a bahnhof a railway station in English? Would the building have had multi-lingual signage, or just Flemish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healdav Posted 10 November , 2022 Share Posted 10 November , 2022 Which Rossignol is this? I can't find one in France and the only one I know of is in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 10 November , 2022 Share Posted 10 November , 2022 This is Nachtegaal on the Menin Road (between Geluveld and Geluwe). The was a tram stop (the tram line from Menen went from here through the fields towards Beselare and from there to Geluveld and back on the Menin Road). In the area is also "Oude Hond" (Vieux Chien in French). This is NOT Rossignol near Ploegsteert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is indeed this Rossignol as well. Nightingales everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
