roel22 Posted 18 May , 2008 Share Posted 18 May , 2008 There used to be a demarcation stone in Vierstraat, near Kemmel no. 1 cemetery. I read it was removed a few years ago. Is this stone back in place again (and, if so, at its original position)? regards roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frie Posted 19 May , 2008 Share Posted 19 May , 2008 Roel, The stone will soon be replaced close to the "Kleine Vierstraat". crossroads in the Vierstraat at Kemmel. The demarcation stone close to Kemmel no.1 was almost correct... Stupid story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 19 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 19 May , 2008 Thanks, Frie. My guess is its new location will be where the old trench used to be, between Kemmel no. 1 and Kleine Vierstraat? Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frie Posted 19 May , 2008 Share Posted 19 May , 2008 Roel, I hope, --they listen. More than 10 years ago we were concerned, with our historic society, in a project concerning the demarcation stones because they subsided... So our society consolidated the stones. We can give the town of heuvelland all the information they need about this matter, but will they ask??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roel22 Posted 19 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 19 May , 2008 Somehow I doubt the stone is on top of their things to do-list Roel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
