The extension of the Aveluy communal cemetery was built by the French, who occupied the village until July 1915. Then relieved by British troops, the latter continued to use it until November 1917. It contains 613 bodies: 549 British, 54 Australian, 7 Canadian, 1 South African, and 2 Indian - the latter three being part of labor units. The thirty graves of French soldiers were moved after the war to a necropolis
