An interesting anecdote concerns Rifleman Clarence Eastwood Peel of the 18th Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps. Clarence Peel was killed in action on 21 October 1917 near Hill 60. His gravestone bears the inscription "Their Glory Shall Not Be Blotted Out," a line from Sirach 44:13, suggested by Rudyard Kipling. Clarence Peel was the uncle of the modern playwright Alan Bennett, who detailed his search for his uncle's grave and life story in the radio monologue "Uncle Clarence".

Larch Wood is derived from a larch grove that was just south of the cemetery. Tunnels were dug in this area as shelters, which in 1917 were used as headquarters and medical posts.
The cemetery is accessible via a 160 m country road and a railway crossing. From the entrance there is an 80 m grass path to the part with the graves. In the axis of this access path, on the southwestern wall is the Cross of Sacrifice and opposite the Stone of Remembrance, flanked by two brick shelters.
