| Bellewaarde 16th June 1915 |
     |
Good evening
I am new to this forum, so please forgive any errors on protocol?
I have created a website dedicated to the men of Bellewaarde.
These men, British and German, fought and fell on 16th June on a battlefield in Flanders which was about half mile square.
I have had many problems researching the German fallen, most of the problem is my lack of German and also not knowing where to go for assistance.
I have added those names that I have found on my memorial page, but I am not sure if I have missed any, or not.
I am also looking for any information on the soldiers so that I can create living people, not just statistics!
Reserve Infantry Regiment Nr. 246 and 248 also Regiment 132
I would appreciate any help?

Hi RainerZwo
Thank you for the welcome!
I'm glad you have viewed Bellewaarde 1915 and enjoyed reading about the battle.
I started researching a Great Uncle for my family history and discovered he fell on 16th June at Bellewaarde. I decided to do more research as I wanted to know exactly what happened and when I delved deeper and found information of the number of casualties and also the number of dead i was shocked.
After 18 months of research I created the website as a memorial to all the men of Bellewaarde.
As I stated, my lack of understanding of German is a problem in researching the battle from the German perspective, googlr translate is O.K. but it translates literally so sometimes the translation is useless.
If you do find any information about the battle or the soldiers, please let me know.
Regards
Martin
