Blargies Communal Cemetery Extension
Blargies, Departement de l'Oise, Picardie, France
Blargies became in 1916 an important centre of British and native labour attached to the dumps and depots at Abancourt; and in the same year it was found necessary to open an Extension of the Communal Cemetery for the burial of men who died in the hospitals of the Camp. The Extension was used until 1920. There are now nearly 250 World War I and a small number of World War II casualties commemorated in this site. The grave of a Bermudan soldier was brought in from the Communal Cemetery after the 1918 Armistice; and those of twelve German prisoners, four Italian labourers and one American Y.M.C.A. worker were removed to other burial grounds. The Extension covers an area of 1,998 square metres and is enclosed by a rubble wall on three sides.
