General Directions: Graincourt-le-Havrincourt is a village just south of the main Cambrai to Bapaume road (N30), about 10 kilometres from Cambrai. Sucrerie British Cemetery is on a minor road that leads directly from Graincourt-les-Havrincourt, crosses the main road and then leads towards Moeuvres. The Cemetery is at the end of a long access path which starts about 0.5 kilometres from the main road.

Graincourt-les-Havrincourt was captured by the 62nd (West Riding) Division on the 20th November, 1917, and again, after a hard struggle, by the 63rd (Royal Naval) Division on the 27th September, 1918. The cemetery was made by the 63rd Division on the 6th October, 1918. The graves are in one long trench, almost all of whom belonged to the 63rd Division and fell in the capture of Graincourt.
