THE SALLEST WAR CEMETARY

Killed in Roksem but buried in Westkerke?

In spite of the fact that Roksem is considered as one of the oldest parishes in Flandres it regained for several reasons the status of an independent parish again in 1965. Prior to that date all church services including religious burials were organized in Westkerke. This explains why the four victims of the aircraft crash were buried in Westkerke.

Around 1948, the steles placed.
