If you put "Prince Maurice" into the forum search engine, you will find various threads about him, including a photo of his grave and descriptions of its location.

Peter.

As you move from the Extension Cemetery into the Ypres Town Cemetery his grave is one of the first (if not the first) you see on your left.

If you look at the CWGC map of the cemetery it is bottom left hand corner (but difficult to read I admit).

It would have been easy to find 85 years (and a month or 4) ago.

6 May 1923.

Kneeling : Ypres mayor Colaert and Princess Victoria (sister of Prince M. of Battenburg)

Left : her husband King Alfonso XII

Many thanks for all of those, including the wonderful period photo. I gather that the grave is by itself and that nobody is buried on either side? Peter

Actually, I can see that very clearly now when you enlarge the map. Thanks again. Peter
