ADINKERKE CHURCHYARD
EXTENSION
De Panne
West-Vlaanderen
Belgium
From June - November, 1917, the British XV Corps held the line in this sector, and the 24th and 39th Casualty Clearing Stations were posted at Oosthoek (between Adinkerke and Furnes) between July and November of that year, and the 1st Canadian Casualty Clearing Station was situated in Adinkerke in June. Most of the burials here were made by these units. The Commonwealth cemetery lies within a Belgian military cemetery on the west side of the Churchyard.
