About
This necropolis was built in the no-man's-land between the British and German lines as they stood on the morning of July 1, 1916, the day the Battle of the Somme began. Most of the soldiers buried here died in 1916 and 1918.
On July 1, 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. His body was found on October 31, 1998, very close to the La Boisselle pit.
