Connaught Cemetery commemorates British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Somme during the First World War. Connaught Cemetery mainly contains the graves of soldiers who died near the village of Thiepval from the autumn of 1916 until the end of the war in November 1918.
An interesting anecdote is that the cemetery originally contained 517 graves, but after the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line in the spring of 1917, the bodies of soldiers from various temporary cemeteries were transferred to Connaught Cemetery.

The cemetery contains the graves of 1,285 British soldiers killed mainly during the summer and autumn of 1916 (including 642 unidentified soldiers).
During the Battle of the Somme, Thiepval was attacked on July 1, 1916, by the Irish of the 36th British Division, to whom the Ulster Tower pays tribute. However, it was not until September 26 that the village was captured by the 18th Division.
In 1918, during the German offensive in Picardy, the village was lost on March 25, only to be recaptured on August 24 by the 17th and 38th Divisions.
