Belgium Grootebeek Cemetery (#0318)

Belgium Grootebeek Cemetery (#0318)
My hotel in Ypres had provided a detailed map of Commonwealth graves in the general area, with recommendations for ones to visit. Since I’m allergic to focusing on recommended sites, I looked at the map and decided to focus on cemeteries in what seemed to be odd locations (some of which were recommended). I learned quickly that if you looked closely while driving, there were signposts indicating the directions to cemeteries, which is how I found the sign (but not the cemetery) for Grootebeek British Cemetery, about 5k from the Brandhoek cemeteries.

The sign here points to a grass path between farm fields; there was no official place to park other than just pulling off the road.
