In Gheluvelt, where there are still a few broken walls standing, turn to the left at the fork in the road, leaving the ruined church on the right. At the next fork take the right-hand road to the ruined hamlet of Terhand. Fifty yards before the crossing with the Dadizelle Road, there is a German cemetery on the right, containing a remarkable concrete monument, thirty feet in height, which dominates the whole plain. This monument (photo, p. 62) was in reality a German observation post. Inside there were two floors. An outside staircase led to a platform. Traces of the balustrade are visible in the photo.

DUMMY FUNERAL MONUMENT WHICH WAS REALLY A GERMAN OBSERVATION-POST] _Leave the Dadizelle road on the right._ The road hereabouts is camouflaged. Numerous small forts may be seen on both sides of the plateau, especially on the right. The largest of them was used as a telephone exchange. After passing the place called Molenhoek the tourist comes to the Passchendaele-Wervicq road, now impassable. _Leave the car at the fork, and go on foot through the ruins of Becelaere, as far as the church on the right._ [Illustration: RUINED VILLAGE OF BECELAERE] _Return to the fork and take the right-hand uphill road._ On the plateau there are many shelters. To the west of the road from Becelaere to Zonnebeke lay Polygone Wood, which was entirely destroyed. The British made two unsuccessful attempts (July 31 and August 16, 1917) to take this strongly fortified wood, succeeding eventually on September 20 (see p. 28). Evacuated by the British in April, 1918, the wood was finally recaptured by the Allies in October, 1918. Beyond the place called Noordenhoek there is a bend in the road. On the left, Zonnebeke Pond, the ruined château, and the remains of a gasometer come into sight (photo below). _At the place called Broodseinde take the Ypres-Roulers road on the left, to visit the ruins of Zonnebeke._ =Zonnebeke= was taken in 1914 by the Germans, who made an outpost of it in front of their lines. The village was recaptured on September 26, then lost in April, 1918, and finally retaken in the following October. _Return to the fork_ (which was commanded by numerous small forts), _and turn to the left:_ military cemetery at the side of the road. In the fields on the right, 200 yards beyond the level crossing, there is a monument to the memory of 148 officers and men of the Canadian 85th Battalion (photo, p. 64). Passing through shell-torn country, =Passchendaele=--now razed to the ground--is reached. All that remains of the church is the mound seen in the background of the photograph (p. 64).
