Dadizeele New British
Cemetery, Moorslede, West-Vlaanderen. The village of Dadizeele was in German hands
for much of the First World War until reached by the 36th (Ulster) Division, and
taken by the 9th (Scottish) Division, on 29 September 1918. Severe fighting followed
on 1 October, at Hill 41, a little south of the village. Dadizeele New British
Cemetery is an extension of the communal cemetery. It was made after the Armistice
when graves were brought in from other burial grounds and from the battlefields
of 1918, although there are also a few 1914 graves. The cemetery contains 1,029
Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. Some 158 of the
burials are unidentified and there are special memorials to seven casualties known
or believed to be buried in the cemetery. Information
