An interesting anecdote concerns the name of the cemetery. It refers to a chalet that stood in the hamlet before the war. This chalet served as a point of reference for the soldiers and gave the cemetery its name.

Lindenhoek Chalet Military Cemetery is a British military cemetery from the First World War, located in the hamlet of Lindenhoek, south of Kemmel. The cemetery was established in March 1915 by medical posts and combat units and remained in use until October 1917. After the war, approximately 130 more graves from the battlefields around Kemmel were added. The cemetery contains the graves of 317 soldiers, 69 of whom are unidentified. The cemetery has a rectangular plan and is slightly raised above street level, surrounded by a brick wall.

An interesting anecdote concerns the explosion of one of the mines on 17 July 1955 by lightning. This mine had not been detonated during the war and was still underground. The explosion created a new crater and reminded the local population of the lasting impact of the war.

The Spanbroekmolen crater, also known as the Pool of Peace, is an impressive mine crater in Wijtschate. This crater was formed on June 7, 1917, during the Second Battle of Messines, when British troops detonated 19 underground mines. The explosion created a crater 27 meters deep and 129 meters in diameter. After nearly 100 years of erosion, the crater is now a peaceful pool 12 meters deep and 76 meters in diameter.

The Ypres War Victims Monument, also known as "The Ieper Fury", commemorates the civilian and military victims of Ypres during the First and Second World Wars. It was designed by Jules Homère Martin Coomans and completed by Aloïs De Beule in 1926. It is located at the Boterstraat, near the western entrance to the Cloth Hall. The monument became particularly well-known due to the riots at its unveiling in 1926, when the Flemish Veterans' Association protested against the lack of Flemish recognition, which led to confrontations with the Gendarmerie. This gave the monument the nickname "The Ieper Fury".
