Until 9 April 1917, the Allied front line ran practically through the village of St. Laurent-Blangy.

Hervin Farm was taken by the 9th (Scottish) Division on 9 April 1917 and the cemetery was made by fighting units and field ambulances in that month; three graves were added subsequently.

The cemetery now contains 51 burials of the First World War, three of them unidentified.

The cemetery was designed by N A Rew.
