Located in Aveluy Wood, which was completely destroyed during the war, this military cemetery, built in June 1916, contains the bodies of 380 combatants (354 British and 26 Australian).
This wood housed part of the British artillery, and many units passed through it on their way to the front and died in combat on July 1st.
Later, during their spring offensive in 1918, the wood was captured by the Germans. On the night of March 26th-27th, they managed to infiltrate the wood and, despite the resistance of the 12th, 47th, and 63rd Divisions, it was completely captured by April 5th. It was not until the end of August that it was finally liberated.
