About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Epehy is a village situated approximately 21 kilometres north-east of Peronne. Pigeon Ravine Cemetery lies approximately 3 kilometres north-east of the village and north of the road to Honnecourt.

Epehy was captured at the beginning of April, 1917; lost on the 22nd March, 1918; and retaken (in the Battle of Epehy) on the following 18th September by the 12th (Eastern) Division. Pigeon Ravine Cemetery is on the South side of a shallow valley running East and West which was the scene of a mounted charge by the 2nd Lancers on the 1st December, 1917. The cemetery was made by the 33rd Division Burial Officer at the beginning of October, 1918.

There are now over 100 First World War casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, nearly 20 are unidentified and special memorials are erected to two soldiers from the United Kingdom known or believed to be buried among them. The cemetery covers an area of 514 square metres and is enclosed by a low rubble wall.
