HUY (LA SARTE) COMMUNAL CEMETERY

 

Huy

 

Liege

 

Belgium

 

GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Huy is a town in the province of Liege, on the River Meuse, between Namur and Liege. The cemetery of La Sarte serves the hamlet of that name. It stands high up the hill on the South side of the town, commanding what must have been spectacular views over the Meuse Valley, before the advent of the Chemical plant which now somewhat ruins the view.

 

From January to May 1919 the 50th (Northumbrian) Casualty Clearing Station was posted in Huy, and the majority of burials were made by this unit.

 

CASUALTY DETAILS: UK 54; Canada 55; France 6; Russia 1; Total Burials: 116
