    The Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery was established in December 1914 and was used by British troops until the spring offensive of 1918, when the area fell into German hands. After its recapture by the Allies in September 1918, the cemetery was expanded to include graves from isolated locations and smaller cemeteries. The cemetery contains 895 identified graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. Many of them died of their wounds in a dressing station located in the nearby buildings known as 'Eaton Hall'.
