From the small military graves by the chapel which stands next to the house used as accommodation/hospital during the siege.

Did you take other photos of the location; the trenches for example?

IL,

I spent 6 hours at Jammersberg Drift yesterday.
I was comparing the various maps to the actual geography to better understand how the defence was organised. I took a lot of pictures and will post these separately.
