    Fricourt British Military Cemetery contains 133 bodies: 132 British and 1 New Zealander.
    It was erected between July 5 and 11, 1916, by the 7th East Yorkshire Regiment, 89 of whose men are buried here. A memorial erected by the same battalion pays tribute to these men who fell between July 1 and 14; it reads: "To the glory of God and eternal memory of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the 7th Battalion ("Alexandra Princess of Wales") Yorkshire Regiment - Green Howards - who fell near this spot on July 1, 1916." Also notable in this necropolis is the grave of Major Robert Raper, of the South Staffordshire Regiment, killed on July 2, 1916. He was so popular in Fricourt that a street bears his name, and for a long time, his grave remained isolated in the middle of the field, where pavilions have since sprung up, located opposite this cemetery.
    This necropolis was used until the end of October 1916, and four new burials took place in 1918. At the time of the armistice, the graves of a French soldier and four German prisoners were also located there, which have since been moved.
