Gelrode "The village is in the Hageland . It stretches over a few hills such as the Eikelberg , the IJzerenberg and the Hondsheuvel , where the Moedermeule (a mill) is enthroned."

From Wim, "we (Philippe Lanez) think not a tax seal but seal of the railways 'CF DE LETAT BELGE' with CF = chemin de fer (railways) and the place "GELRODE" I think."
