| Estrees is a village in the north-western sector of the
Department of the Aisne, 14 kilometres north of St Quentin. Estrees Communal
Cemetery is situated just to the north of the village on the D71 which connects
Estrees with Gouy. The Commonwealth War Graves will be found on the right hand
side near the entrance of the cemetery.
The cemetery was used by the Germans; but their graves have been removed, and the British soldiers buried by them in March, 1918, have been reburied in St. Souplet British Cemetery. There are now over 10, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, a small number are unidentified. All fell in October, 1918. Number of Identified Casualties: 10
