TOEN & NU - HET HOOGHE / THEN & NOW - HOOGHE & HOOGHE CRATER
Het op een belangrijke strategisch plaats langs de Meenseweg gelegen kasteeldomein van het Hooghe was vooral in het voorjaar van 1915 één van de gevaarlijkste plaatsen aan het Westelijke Front. Dankzij o.m. de schitterende foto's die Sgt. C. Pilkington in 1914 wist te maken en die nu deel uitmaken van de fascinerende collectie van het IWM kan ik u meenemen op een trip naar 't Hooghe toen en nu...

Sanctuary Wood, Hill 62,Belgium
Leaving the historic Belgian town of Ypres via the Menin Gate, you can travel the once heavily- contested Menin Road for just a few kilometres and come across a number of familiar names and places. Sanctuary Wood is on the site of Hill 62 (as was) and is one of the long-established stops for those interested in First War sites. It claims to be an undisturbed section of the trenches and certainly, the outline of craters both big and small are easily made out amidst the dug-outs. There is also a small museum which seems largely unchanged from the first time I visited thirty years ago. Vintage stereoscopes show graphic pictures from the Western Front and each room is lined by 'finds' presumably turned up in nearby fields.I keep expecting to find this place updated but as an example of the way in which we used to remember as well as for its own value, it's a must visit for any student of the Great War.
