This cemetery was built in the no man’s land between the British and German lines as they stood on the morning of 1 July 1916, the day the Battle of the Somme began. Most of the soldiers buried here died in 1916 and 1918. On 1 July 2000, the remains of George J. Nugent, a British soldier who went missing during the Battle of the Somme, were laid to rest in this cemetery.
