The Battle of Hill 60 (17 April – 7 May 1915) took place near Hill 60 south of Ypres on the Western Front, during the First World War. Hill 60 had been captured by the German 30th Division on 11 November 1914, during the First Battle of Ypres (19 October – 22 November 1914). Initial French preparations to raid the hill were continued by the British 28th Division, which took over the line in February 1915 and then by the 5th Division. The plan was expanded into an ambitious attempt to capture the hill, despite advice that Hill 60 could not be held unless the nearby Caterpillar ridge was also occupied. It was found that Hill 60 was the only place in the area not waterlogged and a French 3 ft × 2 ft (0.91 m × 0.61 m) mine gallery was extended.

  • Der Kampf um Höhe 60 in Flandern (Belgien) war eine militärische Auseinandersetzung während des Ersten Weltkriegs an der Westfront im Wytschaete-Bogen bei Ypern zwischen deutschen und alliierten Truppen. Die in Verbindung mit der Zweiten Flandernschlacht stehenden Kämpfe begannen im April 1915 und dehnten sich letztendlich auf das gesamte Gebiet des Wytschaete-Bogen aus. Die Gefechte um die Beherrschung der Höhe 60 dauerten, mit Unterbrechungen, bis zur Schlacht bei Messines im Juni 1917 an. (de)

  • La bataille de la colline 60 (Hill 60) est un combat qui s'est déroulé du 17 avril au 7 mai 1915 entre les troupes britanniques et allemandes au lieu-dit Hill 60 au sud-est d'Ypres, sur le front de l'Ouest au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Hill 60 est capturée par la XXXe division d'infanterie allemande lors de la première bataille d'Ypres. Les troupes françaises entreprennent des préparatifs pour attaquer le site. Celles-ci sont relevées par la puis par la 5e division d'infanterie britannique, qui continuent les préparatifs. Le plan est retravaillé et devient plus ambitieux, visant à prendre et à conserver Hill 60. Cette conservation est cependant conditionnée par la prise d'une autre colline Caterpillar à proximité.

  • Hill 60 is een heuvel even buiten het Belgische dorp Zillebeke, waar fel werd gestreden tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De heuvel ligt nabij de spoorweg Ieper-Kortrijk (Spoorlijn 69), langs de Zwarteleenstraat. De heuvel is onderdeel van de zogenaamde Hoogte van Wijtschate-Zillebeke waar ook de Helling van Mesen, Helling van Wijtschate en Hill 62 deel van uitmaken. De hoogte van Hill 60 reikt tot 60 meter boven zeeniveau. Eigenlijk is deze heuvel opgebouwd uit grond die vrijkwam bij de aanleg van 'de' spoorweg. De Gedenksite van Hill 60 is bewaard gebleven en kan vrij bezocht worden. (nl)
