    Pheasant Wood Military Cemetery is the Commonwealth war cemetery in Fromelles, located next to the Musée de la Bataille de Fromelles. The cemetery was created in 2010 following the discovery of mass graves in the area. It contains the graves of 250 British and Australian soldiers who died during the Battle of Fromelles. Of these graves, 126 are unidentified.

    An interesting anecdote concerns the excavations in 2009. During these excavations, the bodies of 250 British and Australian soldiers were discovered in mass graves. Thanks to DNA research, many of these soldiers could be identified, giving their families clarity about their fate. This research has helped to bring the stories of these soldiers back to life and to honor their memories.
