Details

Bucquoy is a village and commune in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, ten miles South of Arras. The village was occupied by the 7th Division on the 17th March, 1917, and it was the scene of very heavy fighting in March and April, 1918.

Bucquoy Communal Cemetery is on the East side of the village, on the North sode of the road running to Logeast Wood. It was used in 1914-16 for 558 German burials and a munument was erected in it by the 55th Reserve Infantry Regiment; but the German graves, and those of nine soldiers from the United Kingdom buried by the Germans and 25 buried by R.N.D. in August, 1918, have been removed to other cemeteries.

The Communal Cemetery now contains the graves of nine sailors and soldiers from the United Kingdom who fell in August, 1918, and one of whom is unidentified.
