BUS HOUSE CEMETERY
Ieper
West-Vlaanderen
Belgium
GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Leave Ieper via the Lille Gate and continue directly over the crossroads with the Ieper ring road. The road then changes its name to Rijselseweg, after 4km the road forks and branching immediately from the right fork is the Sint-Elooisweg, in effect these are two immediate right turnings, and the cemetery is a further 500m along this road on the left of the road towards Voormezele.
This cemetery stands behind a farmhouse known as "Bus House" during the war. The farm was given this name due to the proximity of a wrecked London Omnibus which was situated outside of the farm. It was used from June-November 1917; and one grave from 1915 was later added as well as another four in April 1918. Access and parking are easy.
