WWI Ypres Hill 60 German Bunker

To be found south of Ypres the WW1 battle area known as Hill 60 was so called on British military maps because the contoured height of the ground was marked at 60 metres above sea level. This high ground was man-made in the 1850s, having been created by the spoil from the cutting for the railway line between Ypres and Comines.
This large bunker in the centre of the site of Hill 60 is preserved almost as it was found at the end of the war. It was used by both German and British Armies.
