    The name of this cemetery comes from the excavated earth (spoil banks) from the Ypres to Komen canal, which was used for the banks of this canal. However, this channel was never used. This cemetery was also called Chester Farm Lower Cemetery or Gordon Terrace Cemetery. It was used from February 1915 to March 1918, mainly for the burial of soldiers of the 2nd Suffolks Regiment who fell in the defense of The Bluff (a heavily fought-over part of the front on the Ypres-Komen Canal, close to this cemetery). After the war, victims from the surrounding fields were interred.
