General Directions:
Vermelles is a village north of the N43 road between Bethune and Lens, and
about 9 kilometres from either town. Quarry Cemetery was used from July 1915 to June 1916, and (for two
burials) in August 1917. Its existence is due chiefly to the fighting at
Fosse 8 and at the Hohenzollern Redoubt, and it contains many graves of the
dismounted Cavalry who occupied this sector in 1915-16. The cemetery, was
severely damaged by shell fire. Casualty Details: UK 139, Total Burials: 139
