Visitors approach over a footbridge and enter through a delicate cottage-style gateway.[3] The cemetery contains more than 350 graves, and over two hundred are unidentified.[2] The dead represent the battlefields of Ypres, Le Maisnil (October 1914), Aubers Ridge (May 1915), Loos (September–October 1915), and Fromelles (July 1916).[2] See also
