CRUMP TRENCH BRITISH CEMETERY
Fampoux
Pas de Calais
France
General Directions: Fampoux is a village in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, 6 kilometres east of Arras on the D42 road, and a little west of the A1 road (motorway) from Lille to Senlis. The Cemetery is about 500 metres south-east of the village on the east side of the A1. There is a long rough access track to this cemetery which may be difficult in bad weather. At times it is possible to get a motor vehicle all the way to the cemetery.
Fampoux village was taken by the 4th Division (passing through the 9th (Scottish) Division) on 9 April 1917. It remained close behind the Allied front line, but part of it was lost on 28 March 1918 during the German advance. The village was finally cleared by the 51st (Highland) Division on 26 August 1918. Crump Trench British Cemetery was made by fighting units between April and August 1917. After the Armistice, 85 of the graves were found to have been destroyed.
