This cemetery was set up in June 1918 by the 46th Casualties Clearing Station. It was then taken over by the 6th fixed military hospital and thus completed with graves of French and German cemeteries in the area. The cemetery was also used during the Second World War.

At present, this cemetery contains 81 graves of Commonwealth soldiers of the First World War (including 8 unidentified) and 19 graves of soldiers from the Second World War.
