STUMP ROAD CEMETERY

Grandcourt

Somme

France

General Directions: Grandcourt is a village about 12 kilometres north-east of Albert. The Cemetery (signposted in the centre of village) lies about one kilometre south of Grandcourt, some 500 metres along a single track lane (suitable for cars) off the road (D151) Grandcourt-Thiepval.

The village of Grandcourt was reached by men of the 36th (Ulster) Division on the 1st July, 1916, but it could not be held. It was occupied by the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division on the 7th February, 1917, after a series of local attacks begun in November, 1916; and Stump Road Cemetery was made by the 7th Buffs in the following month.

Further Information: The road from which this cemetery is accessed is very narrow and parking is very difficult and hazardous, the cemetery is then a short walk through fields.

Casualty Details: UK 239, Canada 24, Total Burials: 263
