Battle of the Kemmel Hill, Belgium 

On Friday 26th April 2019 a ceremony was held to remember the Battle of Kemmel.

 

The Battle of the Kemmelberg was most severe between April 25 and April 29, 1918. The French then came to the rescue to close the breach in the front line but these actions cost them 10,000 deaths.

 

About half of the victims were later buried in the Ossuaire, the place where these losses are now commemorated in the presence of (inter) national and local authorities.
