Contents

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]

Foundation

The cemetery was founded in February 1915 by the Royal Scots and Middlesex Regiments in the garden of the original Godezonne Farm. [2]

It was used again in 1916 for three more burials and again after the Armistice to concentrate battlefield burials from the north and the east. [3]
