QUEBEC CEMETERY
Cherisy
Pas de Calais
France
General Directions: Take the D38 from Cherisy to Hendecourt. Approximately 2 kilometres from Cherisy turn left just before Sun Quarry Cemetery onto a dirt track.
Cherisy village was captured by the 18th Division on 3 May 1917, but lost the same night. It then remained in German hands until it was retaken by the Canadian Corps on 27 August 1918. Quebec Cemetery was made by fighting units and those buried there, mainly men of the 22nd and 24th Battalions Canadian Infantry (both from Quebec), were killed between 26 August and 28 September 1918.
Further Information: access to the cemetery is poor, as it is necessary to leave your car a good distance away from the cemetery, it is then a 15 minute walk along a very poor and overgrown farm track, which is most certainly not suitable for vehicles.
Casualty Details: UK 6, Canada 189, Total Burials: 195
