Hagle Dump Cemetery was a landfill/storage site located a few kilometers from Elverdinge. Hagle Dump Cemetery was inaugurated in April 1918, during the German Spring Offensive. After the armistice, the cemetery was expanded with a group of graves (lots III and IV). At the start, 26 Americans and 2 French soldiers were also buried here. Later, the Americans were excavated again and transferred to the American cemetery in Waregem. the French were buried elsewhere in Flemish fields.
Today 297 Commonwealth servicemen rest here.
