Wailly Orchard Cemetery, Pas de Calais

The cemetery was begun in May 1916 by the Liverpool battalions of the 55th (West Lancashire) Division, as a front line cemetery, screened from German observation by a high wall. It was little used in 1917, but in March-August 1918, it was considerably enlarged by the Canadian and other units defending the Third Army front. Wailly Orchard Cemetery contains 366 First World War burials, 15 of them unidentified.
