Woburn Abbey Cemetery is a cemetery managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The cemetery contains the graves of over 550 soldiers who died in the First World War.

The Tunnellers' Memorial was unveiled in 2010 and commemorates the efforts of the Tunnelling Companies of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand during the First World War. The memorial is made of Lakeland slate and reflects the exact dimensions of the tunnels used by the tunnellers. A notable anecdote about the Tunnellers' Memorial involves William Hackett, the only tunneller to be awarded the Victoria Cross. During a mission in June 1916, Hackett repeatedly refused to abandon a colleague, Thomas Collins, who was trapped after a tunnel collapse caused by a German mine explosion. Despite his own safety, Hackett remained with Collins, ultimately leading to his own death. His courage and sacrifice are honoured by the memorial, which features a 'T', reminiscent of the tunnellers' shoulder badge, and points to the exact location where Hackett and Collins are still buried.

Three tunnelers were saved by William Hackett, who unfortunately did not survive, along with his companion Thomas Collins. William Hackett was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.

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.
