The Sucrerie Military Cemetery was built by French troops in the early summer of 1915, a few hundred meters from the Mailly-Maillet sugar refinery from which it takes its name, before being used by the British from July 1915 to August 1918.
It now contains 1,104 graves, 219 of which have not been identified: 965 British, 13 Canadian, 29 Australian, 65 New Zealander, and 32 South African.
The last man buried here was in fact a Scottish soldier, Alexander McIntyre, of the Cameron Highlanders, who died on December 25, 1918, at the age of 50. He had been transferred to the 5th Prisoner of War Company, which suggests that he was guarding German prisoners after the armistice and that he died, accidentally or naturally, during his service.
