KEK Vaux

We are glad to announce that the mysteries about KEK Vaux have been resolved finally.

The castle at Vaux-en Vermandois which was destroyed on 16 February 1917 was the HQ of KEK Vaux and Buddecke and co. We can also prove this by photographs. We also found the location of the former castle.

There were two aerodromes at Roupy near to the Castle Touron, one on the other side of the road, known as Roupy, another one next to the castle known as Vaux.

We have already written a ful article on the matter in dutch and french on our WW I Forum.

An english article will follow soon.
