South Africans buried in Warlencourt British Cemetery, France
South Africans buried in Warlencourt British Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France. According to the South African War Graves Project there are 127 South Africans buried in the cemetery, a number of which are unidentified. I am adding in the Lives from my ROH community and the Thiepval and Delville Wood communities. The cemetery was used from November 1916 to October 1917, and contained the graves of 17 soldiers from the United Kingdom and 13 from Australia. The cemetery now contains 3,505 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 1,823 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to 55 casualties known or believed to be buried among them.
