The best way of locating the military cemeteries is to get a large scale map of the area, unfortunately for the Poperinge area you will need two maps. The best maps to get are their equivalent to our Ordinance Survey, Topograische Kaart Van Belgie (Carte Topographique Belgique) scale 1:25,000 maps No 27/3-4. this map covers Watou, Proven and half of Poperinge and map No 28/1-2. which covers the other half of Poperinge and Ieper.
