Dickebusch Old Military Cemetery

In the village center of Dikkebus, three British military cemeteries were established during the First World War. Originally, there were also British buried in the cemetery, but these graves have been removed. The 'Old Military Cemetery' was started as a frontline burial place and was used by the troops in January, February, and March 1915. It contains the graves of 47 soldiers from the First World War. The 78 French soldiers, who were also buried here, were removed after the war. In May 1940, another 10 British soldiers were buried who had died as a result of the retreat to Dunkirk (May – June 1940).
