Kleythoek

Quote from "The Seventh Division 1914-1918" by C.T. Atkinson.

p.26

"But with the Welch Fusiliers and Warwickshires close up to the enemy's trenches at Kleythoek(2), to break off the engagement was far from easy, especially as the artillery were finding it so hard to give the infantry adequate support."

"(2) These were about 4,000 yards from Menin."

19th October 1914, the attack by 7th Division on Menin, appears to be the most easterly point occupied before being ordered to withdraw.

Was Kleythoek a village or hamlet, I cannot find it on a modern map, does it still exist?

Hello,

The hamlet should still exist (I think I know where it is by the look of the map) although you probably won't find it on any map. It is very close to the Kezelberg Military Cemtery.

Thanks Jan.

It appears to be on the railway line, possibly a hamlet/station in 1914?

I have looked at the Belgian railway network map and it appears the line between Roulers and Menin no longer exists.
