GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Leave Ieper via the Torhoutstraat and turn right onto Basculestraat. At the main crossroads continue straight on, this road now becomes the N8 Meenseweg, at the next roundabout turn right onto the Maaldestedestraat (signed Zillebeke) and the cemetery is a further 1.2km on the right.
This cemetery is situated on the grounds of an old tile works; it was destroyed by shellfire during the war, as its chimneys were an ideal target for enemy guns. The cemetery is now set out with all the graves around the edge of the plot, as it was found to be impossible to identify the exact location of each grave when the cemetery was made.
CASUALTY DETAILS: UK 95; France 3; Total Burials: 98
