BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Hill 60 is 2.7 hectares of preserved battlefield on a ridge overlooking the town of Ieper, in the First World War battlefield of Flanders.  It is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The battlefield is preserved as a memorial site simply because it was so fiercely contested, so essential to both defenders and attackers alike and that the bodies of the many hundreds of the dead were pulverised into the earth and could not be retrieved after the war ended. French, British, Australian, Canadian and German soldiers are buried here, but it is a graveyard without headstones.
