Wytschaete
West-Vlaanderen

Location Information
The memorial is next to Wytschaete Military Cemetery and is located 7 Kms south of Ieper town centre, on a road leading from the Rijselseweg N365, which connects Ieper (formerly Ypres) to Wijtschate (Wytschaete) and on to Armentieres.
From Ieper town centre the Rijselsestraat runs from the market square, through the Lille Gate (Rijselpoort) and directly over the crossroads with the Ieper ring road.

The Wijtschatestraat leads from the village square, 500 metres beyond which lies the cemetery on the right hand side of the road.
