​Location Information

Le Tréport is a coastal town approximately 30 kilometres north-east of Dieppe. The Military Cemetery lies to the south of the town next to the town's Communal Cemetery on the D940.


Historical Information

During the First World War, Le Tréport was an important hospital centre. No.3 General Hospital was established there in November 1914, No.16 General Hospital in February 1915, No.2 Canadian General Hospital in March 1915, No.3 Convalescent Depot in June 1915 and Lady Murray's B.R.C.S. Hospital in July 1916. These hospitals contained nearly 10,000 beds.

No.47 General Hospital arrived in March 1917 and later that year, a divisional rest camp and a tank training depot were established in the neighbourhood. By March 1919, the hospitals had been closed and Le Tréport became the headquarters of the 68th Division, which re-formed there before going to the Rhine. The divisional supply depot was closed in June 1919.

There are now 445 Commonwealth burials of the First World War in the cemetery. Three of the four Second World War burials are unidentified. 

Total Burials: 452.

World War One Identified Casualties: United Kingdom 427, Canada 15, Germany 3, Australia 1, India 1. Total 447.

World War One Unidentified Casualty: 1.

World War Two Identified Casualties: New Zealand 1.

World War Two Unidentified Casualties: 3.

The cemetery, one of the first three Commission cemeteries to be built after the First World War, was designed by
Sir Reginald Blomfield and Colonel Frank Higginson
