Search tips


First search generally, then specifically. Example: don’t look for “François Van Damme”, but try “Van Damme” first and filter the search.
The person you are looking for does not appear? Try another spelling. Example: don’t only try “Vanwymelbeke”, but also “Van Wymelbeke” or “Vanwijmelbeke”.
Attention: the War Dead Register only lists Belgian fallen soldiers.  
The War Dead Register provides basic personal information (name, first name, date and place of birth, etc.) and does not contain military files (giving a complete overview of the military career). According to date of birth the files are kept either by the Royal Military Museum or by the Defence archives service. The files safeguarded at the Military Museum can be consulted on site (Parc du Cinquantenaire in Brussels). The files kept up till now by Defence are currently transferred to the General State Archives.
The date on which they will be once again available has not yet been determined.

History

After the surrender of the Belgian army on 28 May 1940 several dozen fallen soldiers are buried in this small plot of honour that also contains military casualties who died in the local hospital. Most of them are subsequently transferred to their former places of residence. Today, four casualties still rest here. 
Ronse resistance fighters and political prisoners are also buried here, but these resting places are monitored by the local authority.
