Historical Information

The first Commonwealth burial took place in the communal cemetery in October 1915 and the last on 1 July 1916. By that date, field ambulances had come to the village in readiness for the attack on the German front line eight kilometres away, and the extension was begun on the eastern side of the cemetery.

The fighting from July to November 1916 on the northern part of the Somme front accounts for the majority of the burials in the extension, but some are from the German attack in the spring of 1918.

The communal cemetery contains 46 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 158 French war graves. 

Total Burials: 206.

Commonwealth Casualties: United Kingdom 46.

Other Burials: France 158.

Non War Casualties: 2. 

The extension contains 1,340 First World War Commonwealth burials and two from the Second World War. There are also 18 German war graves in the extension.

Total Burials: 1,360.

World War One Identified Casualties: United Kingdom 867, Australia 321, Canada 152, Germany 17. Total 1.357.

World War Two Identified Casualties: United Kingdom 2, Germany 1. Total 3. 

The extension was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and John Reginald Truelove
