Hill 60 was a flat topped hill near the railway line into Ypres to an important position to hold strategically for the armies fighting over the Ypres Salient and it changed hands several times during the years the Great War raged here.  Tunnelling and mining under the hill, and frequent shelling means that the remains of many soldiers were never removed from the hill, 

By the car park is a stand with photos and background information on some of the major battles that took place here.
