No. 1 and No. 2 are now treated as a single cemetery, and the British graves from No. 4 have been concentrated into them. Enclosure No. 1, now Plot I, was begun by the 28th Division in March 1915 and carried on by the 17th, 3rd and other Divisions (and later by Artillery) until April 1918. Enclosure No. 2, now Plot II, was begun in March 1915 and used until April 1917. The graves from Enclosure No. 4 were brought into Row B, C and D after the Armistice. Special Memorials record the names of two soldiers from the United Kingdom, buried in Enclosure No. 4, whose graves were destroyed by shell fire There are now over 500, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, nearly 40 are unidentified and Special Memorials represent nineteen British Graves destroyed by shellfire. |
