St. Pierre Cemetery

Description

The cemetery lies to the rear of the communal cemetery and also contains graves from the Second World War. The cemetery was constructed in 1915 for the Casualty Clearing Stations, and it was used for the rest of the war. It has a regular layout. The War Stone stands in the middle of the field with graves. The Cross of Sacrifice is situated at the end of the wide central path. The other wide paths are partly filled with graves from the Second World War. (Geurst, 2010, p.402)
