An interesting anecdote is that Mory changed hands several times during the war. The village was occupied by Commonwealth troops in March 1917, lost to the Germans in March 1918, and retaken by the Allies in August 1918. The German graves in the cemetery were made by German troops in March-August 1918, or by Commonwealth troops in September 1918.
