    The Givenchy-en-Gohelle Canadian Cemetery is a military cemetery managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The cemetery was begun in March 1917 by the Canadian Corps and contains the graves of soldiers who died in the First World War. Givenchy-en-Gohelle was captured by the 2nd Canadian Division on 13 April 1917 and remained in British hands for the rest of the war.

      A remarkable event occurred on April 9, 1917, when Canadian troops launched their famous assault on Vimy Ridge, a pivotal battle that resulted in the capture of strategically important heights. The cemetery commemorates the sacrifices of these and other soldiers who fought in the region.

        The Givenchy-en-Gohelle Canadian Cemetery is a place of respect and remembrance, dedicated to the Canadian soldiers who fell during the First World War. Located on the heights, this peaceful site offers a serene view of the surrounding fields and Vimy Ridge. The rows of headstones, carefully aligned, recall the sacrifice of these men who came from far away to fight.
