Lone Tree Cemetery (Spanbroekmolen) is located
8.5 kilometres south of Ieper town centre, on a road leading from the
Rijselseweg, N365, which connects Ieper to Wijtschate and on to
Armentieres. Lone Tree Cemetery is close to the Lone Tree Crater, one of the nineteen which were made immediately before the infantry attack at the Battle of Messines in June 1917. Nearly all the graves in the cemetery are those of soldiers who fell on the first day of the battle. The cemetery contains 88 First World War burials. The cemetery was designed by J R Truelove. |
