MEERUT MILITARY CEMETERY
St. Martin-les-Boulogne
Pas de Calais
France
General Directions: St.Martin-Boulogne is a commune in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais adjoining the north-east side of the town of Boulogne. From the Mairie in St Martin head north on the rue Colonne. Where the road becomes a one-way system (after 500 metres) turn left onto Rue Pasteur. At the end of this road turn right onto Rue Moliere. Continue to the end of this road and then turn left onto the cemetery access road.
The Meerut Stationary Hospital was established at Boulogne from October 1914, when the Indian Corps arrived in France, to November 1915, when they left; the Cemetery is named after the hospital. The majority of the Egyptian labourers buried here were killed in the air raid over Boulogne on the night of 4-5 September 1917.
Further Information: Due to vandalism the cemetery is kept permanently locked, to visit you must contact the Mairie of St Martin which is open Monday to Saturday, 08.00 to 12.00 and 14.00 to 18.00.
