About this cemetery
Mill Road Cemetery is a Commonwealth war cemetery of the First World War about one kilometre north-west of Thiepval, on the north side of the D73 road to Hamel. It lies on the site of former German trenches, and its 260 original graves are marked by headstones laid flat on the ground. The 36th Division was caught here in crossfire from British artillery and German machine guns. Visitors can read more on ww1cemeteries.com.
