DICKEBUSCH NEW MILITARY CEMETERY EXTENSION Belgium

DICKEBUSCH NEW MILITARY CEMETERY EXTENSION is located 5 Km south west of Ieper town centre. ( * Dikkebus is the modern spelling of Dickebusch).

From Ieper town centre the Dikkebusseweg (N375), is reached via Elverdingsestraat, straight over a roundabout onto J. Capronstraat (for 30 metres), then left along M. Fochlaan. Immediately after the train station, the first right hand turning is the Dikkebusseweg.

On reaching the village of Dikkebus, the cemetery is located on the Kerkstraat, which is a small street turning left off the Dikkebusseweg. 200 metres along this street, and just beyond the village church lies the cemetery. The cemetery lies opposite DICKEBUSCH NEW MILITARY CEMETERY EXTENSION.
