The Euston Road Cemetery in Colincamps contains 1,293 graves of men killed mainly during the Battle of Serre on July 1, 1916, and the capture of Beaumont-Hamel on November 13, during the Battle of the Somme: 960 British, 4 Canadians, 26 Australians, 302 New Zealanders, and 1 Indian.
During the Great War, Colincamps was a village less than 2 kilometers behind the British front lines and was regularly bombarded by German artillery. The village found itself on the front line in the spring of 1918 during the German counterattack "Michael," whose fighting on April 5, 1918, claimed many New Zealand casualties, who were buried here, defending Colincamps. Euston is a town in England, located in Suffolk. It is also the name of a railway station and an underground station in London, where there is also Euston Road. It's just another way for the British to evoke the country.
