"The other 3 are Le Cateau Communal Cemetery, Quietiste Military Cemetery and Highland Cemetery Le Cateau.

The Cateau was the scene of a battle fought by the 2nd British Corps on August 26, 1914 against the German forces. After the retreat of the Allied armies, the city remained in the hands of the Germans until October 1918, when it was taken over by the 5th Connaught Rangers.

During the war, Le Cateau was an important hospital center. The military cemetery was originally built by the Germans in February 1916 with separate parts for the Commonwealth and the German dead. "

Le Cateau a été le théâtre d'une bataille livrée par le 2e corps britannique le 26 août 1914 contre les forces allemandes. Après la retraite des armées alliées, la ville est restée ensuite entre les mains des Allemands jusqu'en octobre 1918, date à laquelle elle fut reprise par le 5e Connaught Rangers.

Pendant la guerre, Le Cateau était un important centre hospitalier. Le cimetière militaire a été aménagé à l'origine par les Allemands en février 1916 avec des parties séparées pour le Commonwealth et les morts allemands. "
