HARINGHE (BANDAGHEM) MILITARY CEMETERY
The cemetery site was chosen in July, 1917 for the 62nd and 63rd Casualty Clearing Stations, and burials from these and other hospitals (notably the 36th Casualty Clearing Station in 1918) continued until October, 1918. The name (with those of Mendinghem and Dozinghem) was given by the Army. Four British plots were made (I, II, III and V); four French (X, XI, XII and XIII), on the West side, removed after the Armistice; and a plot of German prisoners' graves in the North corner.
There are now over 750, 1914-18 and a small number of 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site.
The cemetery covers an area of 2,264 square metres.

| - Location |
| Haringhe (Bandaghem) Military Cemetery is located 18 km from Ieper town centre on a road leading from the N308 connecting Ieper to Poperinge and on to Roesbrugge.
From Ieper town centre the Poperingseweg (N308), is reached via Elverdingsestraat then directly over two small roundabouts in the J. Capronstraat. The Poperingseweg is a continuation of the J. Capronstraat and begins after a prominent railway level crossing.
On reaching the ring road of Poperinge, the R33 Europalaan, the left hand clockwise route circles the town of Poperinge and rejoins the N308 towards Oost Cappel. 10 km after rejoining the N308 lies the village of Roesbrugge. The second left hand turning in the village of Roesbrugge leads onto the Haringestraat and for 2 km to the village of Haringe.
The second right hand turning in the village of Haringe leads onto Nachtegaalstraat. The cemetery lies 400 metres along the Nachtegaalstraat on the left hand side of the road. |
