Historical Information
Montauban village was taken by the 30th and 18th Divisions on 1 July 1916 and it remained in Commonwealth hands until the end of March 1918. It was retaken on 25 August 1918 by the 7th Buffs and the 11th Royal Fusiliers of the 18th Division.
Quarry Cemetery was begun (at an advanced dressing station) in July 1916, and used until February 1917. The Germans buried a few of their dead in Plot V in April and May 1918. At the Armistice it consisted of 152 graves in the present Plots V and VI. It was then increased when graves (almost all of July-December 1916) were brought in from the battlefields surrounding Montauban and small burial grounds, including:-
BRIQUETERIE CEMETERY No.3, MONTAUBAN, which was on the east side of the brick-works on the Longueval-Maricourt road. It contained the graves of 23 soldiers (mainly 1/5th K.O.R.L.) who died in July and August 1916.
CATERPILLAR WOOD CEMETERY No.2, MONTAUBAN, which was at the east end of Caterpillar Wood, north-west from Montauban village. It was begun by the 2nd Suffolks and contained the graves of 50 soldiers who died between July 1916 and January 1917.
GREEN DUMP CEMETERY, LONGUEVAL, which was 1.2 kilometres west of Longueval village. It contained the graves of 54 soldiers who died between August and October 1916.
QUARRY SCOTTISH CEMETERY, MONTAUBAN, which was between the Quarry and the north end of Bernafay Wood. It contained the graves of 55 soldiers (largely 11th and 12th Royal Scots) who died in July 1916.
Quarry Cemetery now contains 740 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 157 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to seven casualties known or believed to be buried among them.

The cemetery also contains 16 war graves of other nationalties.

An eyewitness gave the following details of the incident which led to the death of Desmond Duffy:
"I was not far from Lieut. Duffy when he was killed about 15th November at Carlton Camp behind the lines. We had come back from the left of Flers to rest in tents. We had only been back a few hours when a shell came over and landed on one of the tents and killed 3 officers. Lieut. Duffy, Captain Bush and Lieut. Carlisle. I believe they were all killed instantaneously. I was only 3 tents away at the time and hearing the shell burst, rushed out and helped to pick them up. The Pioneers buried them I think, close to the camp, I saw them being carried away. There were 2 other officers in the tent who escaped, Captain MacDonald and Lieut. Burns."
