chrisharley9 Posted 27 July , 2005 Share Posted 27 July , 2005 Does any Pal know of any published photos of this location near Ypres taken during the Great War - my great uncle was KIA there in 1918 All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 27 July , 2005 Share Posted 27 July , 2005 Chris, I can't help you with a photo, but I suppose you know where Crucifix Corner was ? 5 km (3 miles) south of the centre of Dranouter (actually : south southeast by south), 0.8 km ( 1/2 mile) from the French-Belgian border, and approx. 1.5 km (less than a mile) southwest of the road Dranouter - Nieuwkerke (Neuve-Eglise).

Aurel Sercu Posted 28 July , 2005 Share Posted 28 July , 2005 Chris, Next time I'm in the IFF Museum Documentation Centre I'll have a look if there might be a photo in the Dranouter or Nieuwkerke folder, but I'm not optimistic. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zijde26 Posted 13 August , 2005 Share Posted 13 August , 2005 Chris, The posting of Aurel, describing the place he visited, remembered me that the following website (I know that area in another respect, ‘iconoclasm’ ) gave some photos of that area (De Zwartemolen , a hamlet of Dranoutre (=Dranouter)). You can find the photos by doing the following : - call the following website : http://www.heuvellandverbeeldt.be/ (dutch language) - click on ‘ zoeken ‘ (=search) a new page is opened and -‘ fill in ‘ : +zwarte +molen and click thereafter on ‘zoeken ‘ so you will find some photos of that area, even the crucifix. Lots of luck, Gilbert Deraedt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
