The cemetery was made originally by the 3rd, 4th, 43rd and 58th Casualty Clearing Stations, which were posted in Beaulencourt at different periods after the middle of September, 1918; and the burials from these hospitals are in Plot I, Rows A-D. It was greatly enlarged after the Armistice by the concentration of 571 graves from the neighbouring battlefields and from certain other cemeteries. It now contains the graves of 564 soldiers (including airmen and sailors of the Royal Naval Division) from the United Kingdom, 81 from New Zealand, 51 from Australia, 3 from Canada and 1 from India; 1 man of the Cape Auxiliary Transport Corps; and 14 men of the Chinese Labour Corps. The unidentified are 309 in number, and special memorials are erected to 21 soldiers from the United Kingdom known or believed to be buried among them.

The cemetery covers an area of 2,917 square metres. It is enclosed on the East, North and West sides by a rubble wall, and on the south by a grass slope bordering the road. It stands on the southern slope of a hill, and the Newfoundland Memorial at Gueudecourt is visible in the distance.
