Hi BullwoolGel, Hill 60 is a notorious place outside Ypres, Belgium on the WW1 western front. The land around Ypres is generally flat but there is one hill - Hill 60 which I understand is man made from a pre WW1 railway construction. The name comes from the fact that the hill rises above the 60 metre contour. The side that commanded Hill 60 in the war had an advantage over entrenched solders below.
