The bunkers at Essex Farm Cemetery are the location where John McCrae wrote the famous poem, "In Flanders Fields".

The bunkers were used as makeshift hospitals where Lieutenant Colonel McCrae tended to the wounded and dying soldiers of World War I.

The cemetery adjacent to the bunkers is the resting place for over 1,000 soldiers of the Great War. The youngest soldier, 5750 Rifleman V.J. Strudwick, aged 15, lies to rest in the cemetery.

"We logeerden 1 week in de gastenwoning van 't Heuvelhog. Een gewledige omgeving en prachtig domein met een zeer vriendelijke en kalme uitbater, Piet, voor wie geen vraag teveel was. Heel leuke slaapkamers en de hot tub op het terras is een absoluut genot."
