Lone Tree Cemetery (1916-1917)

Description

Lone Tree Cemetery is a British military cemetery for the fallen from the First World War, located in the Belgian village of Wijtschate, a part of Heuvelland. The cemetery is situated two kilometers southwest of the village center of Wijtschate and is close to the Lone Tree Crater, also known as Spanbroekmolen Crater or Pool of Peace. This small cemetery was designed by John Truelove. The site is shaped like an L but with a blunt angle and has an area of 616 m². The cemetery is surrounded by a brick wall and at its center stands the Cross of Sacrifice. It is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Five hundred meters northeast of this cemetery is the Spanbroekmolen British Cemetery.

There are 88 British soldiers commemorated, of which 9 could not be identified.
