"The cemetery is located on the Allée d'Autriche, 1300 m west of the village center and was designed by Edwin Lutyens and has a 2,506 m² rectangular plan surrounded by a wall. The entrance consists of two white stone square columns with two posts in between.
On the axis of the entrance, the souvenir stone is flanked by a vaulted passage and a similar structure but closed by a niche, both terminated by a triangular pediment. The Cross of Sacrifice is placed at the back between beds I and II. The cemetery is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
581 dead are commemorated, including 58 unidentified.
The village had a strategic position because of its elevated position and was occupied by British troops during the Battle of Arras on April 11, 1917. Immediately, the cemetery began to be used as a front line cemetery. This was the case until March 1918, when the German spring offensive broke out and the village fell into their hands. The village was taken over by the Canadian Corps on August 26, after which the cemetery was used again. The graves were grouped by division that participated in the battle.
Of the identified victims, there are 500 Britons and 23 Canadians. Some deaths are commemorated with a special memorial because their graves can no longer be located and it is assumed that they are under an unnamed grave."
