About the Nationaal Archives of the Netherlands The National Archives in The Hague preserves almost one thousand years of history, in the form of over 125 kilometres of archives, almost 300,000 maps and drawings and more than 15 million photos. The archives were created by the national government, but archives from private institutions and individuals are also preserved at the National Archives as interesting supplements to the government archives.

    This picture was indeed taken in Geraardsbergen (Grammont). The location can still easily be found maps.google.com/maps?q=be,+geraardsbergen&hl=en&l.... The indicated date cannot be correct as the Tour started on the 25th of June in 1961... The notorious Kapelmuur, a Flemish cycling landmark, was omitted and the hill was climbed by the Oude Steenweg.

    The dead men are British. This photograph was probably taken very soon after the action that killed them; the Lewis light machine gun at top centre would certainly have been salvaged by German troops as soon as possible. It's a pity that there is not more detailed information accompanying this picture.

    James Christensen Location could possibly be Belgium at a guess. I'm a Kiwi [New Zealander] and my grandfather served in WW1. NZEF Auckland 3rd Battalion Rifle Brigade D Company. Spent 3 years 157 days overseas. Fought in theatres in Egypt 2x [1915 & 1916] before embarking to France [western europe] where he was finally wounded in 1916. Contracted every illness going around including piles, phlebitis, haemorrhoids, septic throat, influenza. Attended a Lewis gun course on 14/9/17 at Hayling Island. Gain 1st Class Bombing Instructor's Certificate from the Southern Command Bombing School on 22 June 1918 [Lyndhurst Station]. He spent a lot of time convalescing in NZ Military Hospitals Sling, Brockenhurst, Tidworth, and Codford. He was discovered a.w.o.l. and consequently docked several days pay on several occasions. He didn't like the farcical parades soldiers were required to part of. And I don't believe he held high commanding superiors in great respect either after the tragic loss of a record number of Kiwi ANZAC soldiers [843] at Passchendaele on 12 October 1917. Thankfully he survived WW1. Returned home and represented our province in rugby. Returned to building and joinery before moving to bus/coach building. Was a hero to me.
