Scherpe(n)berg

Hello Everyone

I am looking for a town/area called Scherpe(n)berg, I think it is near Kemmel, but try as I might I can't find it. Any help would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Andy

Hi, Max,

The Scherpenberg is a hill on the road from Loker (Locres) to De Klytte. It is only 6 km (if I remember the roadsign right) from Kemmel.

I hope this helps.

Andy

Guten Tag paddy,

Your advance on Berlin was unsuccessful, right? Stopped way ahead at Scherpenberg?!

Someone said there had been an armistice signed. That must have been a Furphey. {Aussie for Rumour} Are you keeping score? I gave up!

Well paddy,

counting is useless since author is not a math genius. But one thing is obscure: how can you be in billets in Mailly 6.9. and push into Berlin 7.9.?? No Aussi ever crossed the lines of 52 ID within 12 hrs.! Mission impossible -also remember the most famous messenger dog who was always on alert in the sap....

Chester must have dozed off.

'twas easy! They call it Eurail, and, like the Blues Brothers, I was on a mission from god. [no blasphemy involved]

Have just read your entries on the watch found at M Maillet. Interesting. Particularly as stated there were no CCS's, but OUR billet was formely Canadian Hospital.
