Will O'Brien Posted 9 May , 2005 Share Posted 9 May , 2005 & the cemetery info Cemetery: BRANDHOEK MILITARY CEMETERY Country: Belgium Locality: Ieper, West-Vlaanderen Location Information: Brandhoek Military Cemetery is located 6.5 km west of Ieper town centre on the Branderstraat, a road leading from the N308 connecting Ieper to Poperinge. From Ieper town centre the Poperingseweg (N308) is reached via Elverdingsestraat then directly over two small roundabouts in the J. Capronstraat. The Poperingseweg is a continuation of the J. Capronstraat and begins after a prominent railway level crossing. 6 km along the N308, after passing the village of Vlamertinge and just beyond the church in the hamlet of Brandhoek, lies the left hand turning onto the Grote Branderstraat. The cemetery is located 300 metres along the Branderstraat on the left hand side of the road, beyond the N38 dual carriageway, which it is necessary to cross. Historical Information: During the First World War, Brandhoek was within the area comparatively safe from shell fire which extended beyond Vlamertinghe Church. Field ambulances were posted there continuously and the Military Cemetery was opened early in May 1915 in a field adjoining the dressing station. It closed in July 1917 when the New Military Cemetery was opened nearby, to be followed by the New Military Cemetery No 3 in August 1917. Brandhoek Military Cemetery now contains 669 First World War burials. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. No. of Identified Casualties: 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Baker Posted 10 May , 2005 Share Posted 10 May , 2005 That's because we went into Brandhoek numbers 2 and 3, a couple of hundred yards away. Derek R walked alone to Brandhoek Mil Cem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
