Buffs Road Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Ypres (Dutch: Ieper) in Belgium on the Western Front.
The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war. [1]
The cemetery, named after the nickname of a nearby small lane, [2] was founded in July 1917 by the 12th, 13th and 14th Royal Sussex Regiment and the Royal Artillery. [3] After the armistice, the cemetery was enlarged by concentrating battlefield graves and that of one officer buried in Brielen Churchyard in 1915, [3] whilst one Belgian soldier was removed. [2]
The cemetery was designed by A J S Hutton. [3]
