Bapaume. The Cemetery lies a little east of the village on the south
(right) side of the D92 road to Cantaing.
Historical Information: Flesquieres village was attacked by the 51st
(Highland) Division, with tanks, on the 20th November, 1917, in the
Battle of Cambrai, but held for a time by a German officer with a few
men; it was captured on the 21st. It was lost in the later stages of the
battle, and retaken on the 27th September, 1918, by the 3rd Division.
Flesquieres Hill Cemetery was originally made by the 2nd Division, in
1918, behind a German cemetery ("Flesquieres Soldiers' Cemetery No. 2");
but the German graves were removed after the Armistice to FLESQUIERES
COMMUNAL CEMETERY GERMAN EXTENSION (which in its turn was removed, with
583 graves, in 1924). On the site of the German cemetery Plots III-VIII

them. Other special memorials record the names of three men of the
R.N.D., buried at the end of 1917 in the 63rd Division Cemetery,

an area of 3,797 square metres. The following were among the burial
