From my childhood onwards I grew up on a farm that was situated in the Ypres front area of World War 1, an area that had to endure a lot of battles.
At school I once had to make a little study about the Great War. It was not at all difficult for me to make a specific choice on this subject: Pondfarm of course. Out of this school paper my first website grew. On that website all my war finds can be seen and it holds general information about the farm too.
5   Link   Battle of Bellewaarde 16 June 1915
Much has been written about Ypres and its major battles during the First World War, such as the First, Second and Third battles, also the great battle of Passchendaele. Many soldiers lost their lives and are remembered each year on Armistice Day. This can only happen if there is some reference point, a place or time, for those men to be remembered.

Little is remembered however, about the Battle of Bellewaarde, which took place on 16 June 1915, it is also known as the First Battle of Bellewaarde. A battlefield approximately ½ mile square, where over 1000 men died within a 12 hour period and many others wounded, some would die later of infection or complications.
