In 1917, the British XV Corps took over an area of operations on the extreme north of the Western Front, along the Belgian coast and the River Yser estuary at Nieuwpoort. This included taking over the infrastructure of the rear area behind the front line, which incoroprated a number of camps for infantry and other units previously used by the French and Belgian armies.
