A poignant story from Philosophe British Cemetery concerns Private Reginald Albert Twyford of the East Surrey Regiment. He died on 8 August 1916, at the young age of 15. His gravestone bears the inscription: "No King Or Saint Hath Tomb So Proud As He Whose Flag Becomes His Shroud," reflecting the deep honour and respect accorded even to the youngest soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Philosophe British Cemetery is located in Mazingarbe and is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The cemetery contains the graves of 1,996 Commonwealth soldiers who died during the First World War, of whom 277 are unidentified. The cemetery was established in August 1915 and was used by various divisions until October 1918.
