This cemetery was established in April 1915 and named after a nearby grove of larch trees, which is also the reason why larch trees were planted here. Larch Wood Cemetery has 1,177 graves, 321 of which are unidentified. 82 soldiers are believed to be buried here with no known grave. They are commemorated in the cemetery on what is called a Special Memorial.
Three Canadians are buried here in 1916 and are commemorated today on the Menin Gate. William Furzer, a 34-year-old laborer born in Somerset, England, died on June 3, 1916. John Shannon, a 28-year-old grocer born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Henry Bridge, a 34-year-old worker from Liverpool, both serve with the 5th Battalion (Western Cavalry). They were killed on July 21 and 22, 1916, when their unit manned the front at Hill 60. Their graves are lost during the further violence of war.
