Varlet Farm Poelkapelle

[Karsten Lund]

Hi everybody

I am looking for information about the battle around Varlet Farm in October 1917, especially the Germans as there were Danes from North Schleswig in especially 84, 85 and 86 Regiments.

It will be greatly appreciated if any of you have any informations, trench maps and such

Thank you

If you put just Varlet into TrenchMapper it will take you straight there. You will get nearly 400 maps and some interesting aerial photos. Change map in the left panel.

Thanks a bunch mate

“The German Army at Passchendaele by Jack Sheldon” may have what you’re looking for?

TrenchMapper has been built exclusively by volunteers over quite a long time. We have over 7,000 maps, 50,000 points of interest like Varlet Farm and a range of features unmatched anywhere on the net when it comes to Great War mapping.  As good as it is, it is still growing, soon there will be 9,000 maps and even more features.

Hello,

IR 84 wasn't in the area in October 1917, IR 85 and 86 were further north (Houthulst Forest).

RIR 84 and 86 were further south (near Geluveld).

Hi Jan

Yes I know but I know IR 464 was around that area and there was a few Danes there as well. Some of them are burried in Menen and one is in Hooglede

IR 464 was south and southeast of Varlet Farm, in the sector just west of Passendale.

I recommend you to check out the regimental history.
