The name "Catsberg" refers to a Germanic tribe, the Chatti (in Latin Chatti or Catti), who first appeared in history in the last years before the beginning of our era. In 162 and 170, the Chatti entered the history books once more as aggressors with their invasions of present-day southern Germany and Belgium. After that, the Chatti disappeared as an independent tribe. They probably merged with the Franks at the beginning of the sixth century. Source: Wikipedia

Gorre British and Indian Cemetery is a cemetery in Gorre, France. It contains the graves of over 900 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Gorre Castle was occupied early in the war by troops serving with the British Expeditionary Force and the Indian Corps, and the burial ground, located in the south-east corner of the original castle grounds, was begun in the autumn of 1914. The Indian section of the cemetery was closed in October 1915, shortly before the Indian infantry divisions left France for redeployment to the Middle East. Many of those now buried in Plots V and VI of the British section of the cemetery were killed during the Battle of Estaires in April 1918.
