    The Brewery Orchard Cemetery is located in Bois-Grenier, a village in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais department. This cemetery was established in November 1914 and served until January 1918. The cellar of a local brewery was used as a dressing station, and the cemetery was started in the nearby orchard.

    The cemetery contains 339 graves of Commonwealth soldiers from the First World War, as well as four graves from the Second World War and five German war graves.

      An interesting anecdote about the Brewery Orchard Cemetery concerns the Australian soldiers buried here. On 5 May 1916, the Germans launched a surprise attack on the Bridoux Salient, a nearby defensive position. During this attack, the Australians lost two of their new Stokes mortars, the first the Germans had captured on the Western Front. Many of the Australian soldiers who died during this attack are buried in Plot IV of the cemetery.
