The Communal Cemetery was used by units and
Field Ambulances from August, 1915 to May, 1916, and again in April,
1918, for the burial of 61 soldiers from the United Kingdom and three
from Australia; but after the Armistice these graves were moved into the
Extension. The Extension was used by units, Field Ambulances, and the
III Corps Main Dressing Station in 1916, and by the 4th Australian
Division and other units in March and April, 1918. There are now over
300, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. The cemetery
covers an area of 1,150 square metres. |
