Note

Grave location: Boisguillaume is a district about 5 kilometers north-east of Rouen on the main road to Neufchatel. Follow the road to Neufchatel/Abbeville on N.28 and turn left into Rue R J Lambert then turn twice right after the church into Rue De La Mare Des Champs. The Communal Cemetery which contains the two First World War plots lies on the left hand side of this road. The first CWGC signpost is on the road to Neufchatel at the street corner - near the Town Hall Mairie.

Historical Information: The two plots in the communal cemetery reserved for Commonwealth burials from September 1914 to March 1917 contain 160 double graves. These plots are on the south side of the central French monument, surrounded by civilian graves and raised above the level of the cemetery. The burials took place for the most part from No 8 General Hospital, which was quartered at Boisguillaume in a large private house and grounds. Plot II contains the graves of 26 servicemen killed in a railway accident on the 14th February 1917. From March 1917, burials were made in the adjoining cemetery extension. The communal cemetery contains 320 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. The extension contains a further 360 First World War graves and one from the Second World War.
