FRAMERIES COMMUNAL CEMETERY
Frameries
Hainaut
Belgium
GENERAL DIRECTIONS: The cemetery is south west of Mons off the R5 ring road. From the E19 motorway leave at junction 24a onto the ring road (R5), follow this to the junction with the N544 direction Frameries and turn first left into rue Saint- Philomene. Then go first left into rue Donaire, cross the railway and the cemetery can be found along here on the left. The graves are located in the Belgian Military area in Plots 1 and 9.
The village spent most of the war in German hands after they captured the area in August 1914; it was finally recaptured by the Canadian Corps at the end of the war. The graves can be found in the North-West part of the cemetery; many of the burials are of men who fell in August 1914, most of whom belonged to the 3rd Division, and largely the 1st Lincolns. These burials, with one exception were all brought into the cemetery after the armistice.
