One of my interests is the Great War [World War 1] and the cemeteries and monuments of the Western Front. Here are a selection of the post cards of the Cemeteries on the Belgian Front. Brandhoek New Military Cemetery  Dozinghem Cemetery  Hop Store Cemetery  Gordon |

Very nice postcards. Is there a number on the back that would give you any idea that they are from a series?

With all the roulette markings on the left side of the cards I would think that these were probably contained in a souvenir booklet.
IMO The Dutch cemetaries are beautiful displays of affection for all military personel who lost their lives at war. It shows a great respect to any who gave their lives in the name of freedom. |

In most cases these were from souvenir booklets produced for visitors to the battlefield sites in 1920's and 1930's. |
