Title: Kerkhove Churchyard
Post by: bibliotaphist on Friday 08 August 14 14:51 BST (UK)
Thanks to the concentration schedules (and other docs) now added to the CWGC website http://www.cwgc.org/ (http://www.cwgc.org/), I've discovered that my 2x great-uncle, who is buried in Bedford House Cemetery near Ypres, was moved there from his original resting place of Kerkhove Churchyard, where he was buried along with four other British soldiers and seven German.

Can anyone help pinpoint Kerkhove Churchyard for me on a map? Or point to any more information about war graves there?

Many thanks,

Google Kerkhove Kerk and you'll be able to see it in Streetview

Also google Sint-Amanduskerk Kerkhove

All - thank you so much for the information and links. Score one to the National Library of Scotland's maps site, again. It's an excellent resource.

Thanks again.
