paul searing Posted 9 December , 2007 Share Posted 9 December , 2007 Hi People Got any idea's as to what the "Dolls House Line" near Ypres may make reference to it seems to crop up several time. I think it could be a trench Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 17 December , 2007 Share Posted 17 December , 2007 Hi Paul I've found one reference in their diary to a unit being relieved from the front and moving back to the Dolls' House (note apostrophe) but all a bit cryptic and not very helpful. I will keep looking. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyOfficer Posted 18 December , 2007 Share Posted 18 December , 2007 Jim / Paul : don't know if this will help but the Doll's House is at Lock 9 along the Ijzer Canal just south west of Ieper. In fact its only about 1.5 km from the Lille Gate along the canal. Its near Kruisstraat, if you have a map. PM me and I can email you some photos if you'd like.

monocle Posted 19 December , 2007 Share Posted 19 December , 2007 It seems to be just North, over the railway line, where the current Belgian Army barracks are now. There are a row of houses there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
