Bailleul is a village about 9 kilometres south of Abbeville, a town on the River Somme. It lies between two main roads, the N28 from Abbeville to Rouen and the N1 from Abbeville to Paris. The communal cemetery is east of the village on the Rue de Bas and is on the right of the road to Bellifontaine. The two WW2 Commonwealth graves are near the middle of the western boundary.
