SECOND DAY: POPERINGHE—LILLE
Via The Hills of Flanders, Armentières, Nieppe Forest, Merville and Béthune
Visit to the Hills: Scherpenberg, Vidaigne, Rouge and Kemmel in Belgium; and the Mont des Cats and Mont Noir in France.
At the Grande Place of Poperinghe take Rue Flamande, then Chaussée de Reninghelst, turn to the left along the Rue des Prêtres, and then turn to the right into the Rue Boescheppe, opposite the church of St. Bertin.
Pass in front of the Diocesan College, the roof of which was badly damaged by shell-fire. In the Place Bertel turn to the right.
Cross the river by a recently restored bridge, then skirt, on the left, the communal cemetery, where the graves have been destroyed by the shells, and cross the Hazebrouck-Ypres railway (l. c.).
LA CLYTTE ROAD AND THE MONT ROUGE
On the left is an Allied cemetery containing 500 to 600 graves. On the right against the sky is Cats Hill. Numerous machine-guns shelters can still be seen along the road. Cross a narrow-gauge railway, which serves a military station on the right.
