      Cemetery: CANADA FARM CEMETERY, ELVERDINGHE, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium
      Grave Reference/
      Panel Number: III. H. 10.

      Location: Canada Farm Cemetery is located 8.5 kilometres north-west of Ieper town centre, on the Elzendammestraat, a road leading from the Veurnseweg (N8) connecting Ieper to Elverdinge and on to Veurne. From Ieper town centre the Veurnseweg (N8) is reached via Elverdingsestraat, then turning right onto Haiglaan. Veurnseweg is a continuation of Haiglaan. On reaching the village of Elverdinge the Steentjesmolenstraat, N333, leads towards Poperinge. 2 kilometres along the Steentjesmolenstraat lies the right hand turning onto Elzendammestraat. The cemetery itself is located 1 kilometre along the Elzendammestraat on the right hand side of the road.

      Historical Information: Canada Farm was the name given to a farm house 800 metres South-West of the Poperinghe-Woesten road. The farm was used as a Dressing Station during the operations known as the Flanders Offensive, which lasted from June to October 1917; and Plots I and II of the Cemetery and the greater part of Plot III contain the graves of men who fell in that advance and died at the Farm. There are now over 900, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. The Cemetery covers an area of 3,422 square metres.
