Gordon Dump Cemetery in Ovillers-la-Boisselle is a military cemetery established after the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The name "Gordon Dump" refers to a munitions dump located nearby. The cemetery contains the graves of 1,676 Commonwealth soldiers, 1,053 of whom are unidentified.
A notable anecdote is that the cemetery is the final resting place of Second Lieutenant Donald Simpson Bell, a former professional footballer who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his bravery in battle. Bell was killed in action on 10 July 1916, just days after his heroic action.
