Hi Charles -

Lots of "fermes" around Dixmuide.....

The only close match I see on period trench maps is "Ceinck Farm" which is about 1.5 km west of Dixmuide center and about .7 km SSE of Caeskerke. On a modern Michelin map Caeskerke is spelled "Kaaskerke" and lay right on the N35 west out of Diksmuide.

I managed to pull this up - the farm is the horseshoe facing open end to the right the lower left quadrant. Sorry the clarity is not better. Contact me off the thread and I'll send a better quality image of the locale.

Hope this is your crash site....
Mike
