General Directions: Neuve-Chapelle is a small village some 15 kilometres south-east of Lille and 6 kilometres north of La Bassee. From La Bassee take the Estaires road, D947, for 5 kilometres then turn right onto the D171 for 1 kilometre into Neuve-Chapelle. Turn left after the church and then right onto a rough track some 300 metres past the track to Neuve- Chapelle British Cemetery. Neuve-Chapelle Farm Cemetery will be found on the left hand side. The cemetery is well sign-posted. 

The village has given its name to the battle which began on the 10th March, 1915, and in which it was captured, not for the first time, by the IV and Indian Corps. It was later "adopted" by the County Borough of Blackpool. Neuve-Chapelle Farm Cemetery was begun by the 13th London Regiment (The Kensingtons) during the Battle of Neuve-Chapelle.
