SENLIS COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION

Senlis

Somme

France

General Directions: Senilis-le-Sec is a village approximately 5 kilometres north-west of Albert. The Communal Cemetery is on the north-west side of the village, on a minor road which links the village with the Warloy-Baillon-Hedauville road. The Extension is on the south-east side the Communal Cemetery.

The extension to the communal cemetery was begun in April 1918, after the fall of Albert, by the 12th (Eastern) and 38th (Welsh) Divisions. It was used until the following August but was enlarged after the Armistice when graves were brought in from the battlefields of the Somme and from the communal cemetery, where 23 Commonwealth soldiers who died 5-9 April 1918 had been buried.

Casualty Details: UK 80, Australia 23, South Africa 1, Total Burials: 104
