Flatiron Copse Cemetery, also known as Flatiron Copse Wood, is the name given by the British military to a small plantation located just east of Mametz Wood. It was erected around July 20, 1916, after the area had been captured by the 3rd and 7th Divisions six days earlier. It now contains 1,568 bodies: 1,520 British, 30 New Zealanders, 17 Australians, and 1 South African.
