JONCOURT EAST BRITISH CEMETERY
Joncourt
Aisne
France
General Directions: Joncourt is a village situated in the north-western corner of the Department of the Aisne, 12 kilometres north of St Quentin. Joncourt East British Cemetery is signposted 1 kilometre to the east of the village travelling on the D713 in the direction of Ramicourt.
The village of Joncourt was immediately west of the German fortification called the Beaurevoir-Fonsomme Line. It was captured by Australian troops on 31 September 1918, and cleared by the 5th Australian and 32nd Division on the following day. The majority of burials here are men of the 15th or 16th Lancashire Fusiliers or the 2nd Manchesters. All of the graves date from the period 30 September-3 October 1918.
Further Information: due to the location of this cemetery, it is necessary to walk for about 5 minutes before it is reached, access is therefore difficult and you should park at the bottom of the track which leads to the cemetery.
