This picture from "Mei 1940" by Peter Taghon shows German burials with temporary markers dating from 28th May 1940 at Houtem-Ten Brielen (just north of Ieper). The photo looks to have been taken some time later.

The caption states that the graves are from 82nd Infantry Regiment (31st Division) and that they suffered heavy losses on 27th May - 65 dead including Oberstlt.Bayer, the Commander of IIde 82nd Regt.

(Apologies that my knowledge of German units is poor and the caption is in Dutch)

Is this sort of info helpful ?
