Hooge Crater Cemetery

The town of Hooge is just outside Ypres and as it was on another high point was attacked many times by the British. It is famous for a large mine that was exploded under the German trenches in July 1915 and for the first attack using flame throwers (by the Germans) also in July 1915.
