The Menen German War Cemetery is located in a bit remote area outside the town of Menen - near the French-Belgian boarder. With 47,864 casualties of the First World War this is the largest German war cemetery is located in the west. Our visit to the cemetery was in the early morning, where the gate to the cemetery was closed. This is the reason why there are no close-up photos of the grave stones.
