About

On the 22nd March 1918 Caulaincourt and Trefcon were captured by the Germans, in spite of a stout defence by the 50th (Northumbrian) Division. The villages were regained by British troops in September 1918. The cemetery was made by the IX Corps (6th and 32nd Divisions) in September 1918, and was called at that time Caulaincourt Military Cemetery. There are now nearly 300, 1914-18 and a small number of 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site.
