Larch Wood (Railway Cutting) Cemetery, Ieper, West-Vlaanderen, Belgium

Grave or Reference Panel Number: IV. H. 7.

Location:
Larch Wood Cemetery is located 4 km south east of Ieper town centre, on the Komenseweg, connecting Ieper to Komen (N366). From Ieper town centre the Komenseweg is located via the Rijselsestraat, through the Rijselpoort (Lille Gate) and crossing the Ieper ring road, towards Armentieres and Lille. The road name then changes to Rijselseweg. 1 km along the Rijselseweg lies the left hand turning onto Komenseweg. 2.7 km along the Komenseweg lies the left hand turning onto Larch Wood Cemetery. The cemetery itself is located 400 metres along a rough single tracked road which leads to
an ungated railway crossing, immediately adjacent to the site.

Historical Information:
The cemetery was begun in April, 1915, and used by troops holding this sector (particularly the 46th (North Midland) Division and the 1st Dorsets) until April, 1918. It was enlarged after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from the battlefields of Ypres and from German cemeteries in Belgium. There are now over 850, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this cemetery. Of these, nearly two-fifths are unidentified and special memorials are erected to 81 soldiers from the United Kingdom and one from Australia, known or believed to be buried in the cemetery. While five other special memorials record the names of four soldiers from the United Kingdom and one from Canada, buried in German cemeteries, whose graves could not be found. Twelve graves, identified as groups but not individually, are marked by headstones inscribed "Buried near this spot". The cemetery (without the access path) covers an area of 2,736 square metres and is enclosed by a red brick wall.
