Klapkalnciems

Klapkalnciems (German: Kneis) is a part of the Engure Parish, Tukums Municipality, in the Courland region of Latvia on the seashore of the Baltic Sea on the Bay of Riga.

As the 27th Battalion was withdrawn to Liepaja to the Baeyr and Hansa garrisons, the positions were taken by the 263rd Jaegerregiment.

[3][4] The Russians bombed the positions with Ilya Muromets bombers and shelled with 210 mm howitzers.

The Finnish voluntary troops stayed on the region from the late August to the December 1916.

A memorial stone is set up near the coast marked with the text Somu jegeru kauju vieta 1916.gada.
