This British military cemetery is located next to the French national necropolis, this cemetery is managed by the British government (CWGC), while the national necropolis is managed by the French state.

In the fall of 1917, when the 15th Corps held the Nieuport section, the 34th and 36th Casualty Supply Stations were stationed at Zuydcoote.

The military cemetery contains, for the most part, the graves of officers and men who died in these hospitals. There are now more than 300 victims of the 1914-1918 war commemorated on this site.

Each cemetery has its own entrance, but if you go to Google maps you will only see the mention of the French national necropolis.
