The village of Westoutre remained in British or French hands from the early months of the War to the Armistice; but in the summer of 1918, after the Battles of the Lys, it was within 2.4 kilometres of the front line. The Churchyard and Extension was used by British Field Ambulances and fighting units at intervals from November, 1914, to September, 1918. There are 98 Commonwealth burials of the 1914-1918 war here, 1 of which is unidentified. There are 3 German Foreign National burials here. The plots in the Churchyard Extension cover an area of 446 square metres.
