Integrated into the communal cemetery, this necropolis contains 888 bodies: 863 casualties of the First World War and 25 casualties of the Second World War. 644 British, 202 Canadian, 39 Australian, and 3 Indian.

It was primarily used by combat units and field ambulances from August 1915 to March 1918, when these troops replaced French units in the area. Activity was particularly intense from September to November 1916, when aid stations were numerous in Albert, located just behind the front where the final weeks of the Battle of the Somme were taking place. It was not until the end of August 1918 that this cemetery was again used by the 18th Division.

During the Second World War, the extension was used again when the French moved 25 British casualties there from isolated graves in and around Albert.
