This cemetery was assigned in July 1917 to the 62nd and 63rd Casualty Clearing Stations. Four British plots were built; four French on the western side and one plot for German prisoners of war in the northern corner. The French graves were evacuated after the war. 772 Commonwealth deaths are now commemorated from the First World War and 5 from the Second World War. There are also 39 dead from another nationality buried. The cemetery is freely accessible from sunrise to sunset.
