Elverdinge is a village in the Flemish province of West Flanders in Belgium. The village is part of the municipality of Ypres (Dutch: leper). [1]

In World War I, the village was part of the Ypres Salient, a bulge in the front lines around Ypres in WWI, created in late 1914 after the front stabilised and the Allied and German armies dug in around the town. [2]
