A military cemetery from the First World War, it is very well maintained like all the others in the region. It is important to discover these places of memory. Let us never forget these young people coming to die with us for our freedom.

"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."

Un cimetière militaire de la première guerre mondiale, il est très bien entretenu comme tous les autres dans la région. C'est important de découvrir ces lieux de mémoire. N'oublions jamais ces jeunes gens venir mourir chez nous pour notre liberté.

" Ce cimetière militaire britanique se trouve à côté de la nécropole nationale française, ce cimetière est géré par le gouvernement britanique (CWGC), alors que la nécropole nationale est gérée par l'état français.

À l'automne de 1917, alors que le XVe Corps tenait la section de Nieuport, les 34e et 36e postes de ravitaillement des blessés étaient postés à Zuydcoote.

Le cimetière militaire contient, pour la plupart, les tombes des officiers et des hommes qui sont morts dans ces hôpitaux. Il y a maintenant plus de 300 victimes de la guerre 1914-1918 commémorées sur ce site.

Chaque cimetière a sa propre entrée, mais si vous allez sur Google maps vous ne verrez que la mention de la nécropole nationale française."
