The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.[1] FoundationThe area where this cemetery now stands had been between the two front lines in June 1917.[2] The area was captured and a cemetery was begun in July 1917 by the 39th and 48th (South Midland) Divisions.[3] The cemetery closed in November 1917, although two more burials were made in May 1918.[4] Archaeological excavations have taken place in the immediate area, around Turco Farm trench, to uncover artifacts and historical details from the Great War.[5] {{-}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.webmatters.net/belgium/ww1_friedhof_vladslo.htm |work=First World War, Carte de Route|title=Soldatenfriedhof Vladslo|accessdate=August 19, 2006}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/15602|title=CWGC :: Cemetery Details|publisher=www.cwgc.org|accessdate=May 4, 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://ww1cemeteries.com/ww1cemeteries/trackxcemetery.htm|title=TRACK X CEMETERY|publisher=ww1cemeteries.com|accessdate=May 4, 2008}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wo1.be/eng/database/dbDetail.asp?TypeID=6&SubTypeID=19&ItemID=5629|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030511065001/http://www.wo1.be/eng/database/dbDetail.asp?TypeID=6&SubTypeID=19&ItemID=5629|dead-url=yes|archive-date=May 11, 2003|title=Wereldoorlog I in de Westhoek|publisher=www.wo1.be|accessdate=May 4, 2008}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wo1.be/eng/database/dbDetail.asp?TypeID=15&SubTypeID=34&ItemID=6172&lID=3|title=Excavations IAP – Turco Farm|publisher=www.wo1.be|accessdate=May 4, 2008}} External links
