Campaign to preserve the view of Hill 60
The City Council of Ieper has granted planning permission for the building of a large "family house" directly opposite the pedestrian entrance to the Hill 60 site, blocking the view of the town of Ypres and the contested land on which so many fought and died.
This goes against Ieper Council's long standing policy:
"...as long as these land parcels remain unbuilt they preserve the vista which the Germans had from Hill 60 and which immediately makes clear why this place was so heavily contested....."

Stobhill Hospital was built by the Parish Council and opened with 1867 beds, in September 1904. Stobhill was requisitioned in 1914 as the 3rd and 4th Scottish General Hospitals under RAMC Territorials. 1040 beds were made available for wounded troops brought from the continent by train to the hospital. A temporary platform was erected on the railway siding which ran into the grounds of the hospital to help receive these patients. The military staff left in 1919 and the hospital reverted to civilian use in 1920.
