TWO TREE CEMETERY
Moyenneville
Pas de Calais
France
General Directions: Moyenneville is in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, 13 kilometres south of Arras and 3 kilometres east of Bapaume.
The village of Moyenneville was occupied by the 7th Division on the 17th March 1917, lost at the end of the following March, and recaptured by the Guards Division on the 21st August, 1918. Two Tree Cemetery takes its name from two large trees of which the stumps exist by the roadside 64 metres to the North-East. It was made after the capture of Moyenneville in August, 1918. Almost all of the soldiers here belonged either to the 15th West Yorkshire Regiment, which held out at Moyenneville for thirty-six hours in March, 1918, or to the Guards Divisions, who re-took the ground in August.
