The 72 hours of Fray Bentos - Sint-Juliaan - 22/08/2017
22/08/2017 - Sint-Juliaan
Exactly one century ago, the "Fray Bentos" crew was stuck inside the legendary tank near Hill 35 for 72 hours, under German and British fire, surviving on water from the radiator. The Poelcapelle 1917 Association and Pond Farm will commemorate this in a special way at the exact same spot and date. For three days on 22, 23 and 24 August.
The sponsors of the project will be given a chance to be a passenger of the tank, since it's thanks to their support that they were able to finish the project.
Place to be: Hazeweidestraat 14, Saint-Julien
