    Here you have to get off your bike for a while.
    In the middle of the field you can find this cemetery.
    History: Because the front line made a triangular protrusion at this place, this cemetery was nicknamed "Caesar's Nose". At the end of July 1917, at the start of the Battle of Pilckem Ridge (Third Battle of Ypres), construction started and it was used until November of that year. The 38th (Welsh) Division that conquered this area buried 23 men here. There are also 15 men from the Royal Field Artillery.

    68 dead of which 9 unidentified.
    Because the front line made a triangular kink, she got her nickname. It was constructed at the end of July 1917, at the start of the battle of Pilckem Ridge.
    Noteworthy is the grave of a civilian, W.H. Taylor who was a farrier with the Royal Field Artillery.
