Iwuy Communal Cemetery
Also known as Cimetière communal d'Iwuy
Iwuy, Departement du Nord, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France
Iwuy was occupied by British troops in the middle of October 1918. Iwuy Communal Cemetery was extended by German troops during their occupation; but the Extension was acquired by the commune after the Armistice, and the German military graves (with 21 French) were removed to other cemeteries. The British Plot was made by the 51st (Highland) Division in October 1918 and eleven British graves were brought in from among the German after the Armistice.
There are now over 100 World War II and a small number of World War II Commonwealth casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, almost 10 from the 1914-18 War are unidentified and special memorials are erected to two Canadian soldiers buried among them. The Cemetery covers an area of 380 square metres.
