DRANOUTRE MILITARY CEMETERY Belgium
DRANOUTRE MILITARY CEMETERY is located 11.5 Km south of Ieper town centre, on a road leading from the Dikkebusseweg (N375).
From Ieper town centre the Dikkebusseweg 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 passing through the village of Dikkebus the road continues for 6 Km to the village of Loker. Continuing through the village of Loker the road becomes Lokerstraat which runs for 2 Km to the village of Dranouter. 50 metres before Dranouter village lies a right hand turning into a semi residential area. The DRANOUTRE MILITARY CEMETERY is located 50 metres after this turning on the left hand side of the road.
