London Rifle Brigade Cemetery was established by the 4th Division in December 1914 and used until March 1918. During the period when the cemetery was in German hands (from 10 April to 29 September), 15 German soldiers were buried in Plot IV and in October 1918 several graves were added. The cemetery takes its name from the London Rifle Brigade which suffered heavy losses during the Great War. The entire 1/5th London Rifle Brigade suffered almost 4,200 casualties, including 755 dead.
