As the New Military Cemetery became full this cemetery was opened and was in use until May 1918. It was used by the various Casualty Clearing Stations in the area.
There were many gun positions located around Brandhoek and many of the graves (286) in this cemetery are those of artillerymen.
The gates of the cemetery were presented by Mr G H Strutt in memory of his son, Lieutenant Anthony Harold Strutt, 16th (Chatsworth Rifles), Sherwood Foresters, who died of wounds on 27 April 1918 and is buried in this cemetery.
Cemetery Location
All three cemeteries at Brandhoek lie to the west of Vlamertinghe and are on the new road between Poperinge and Ieper. They are visible from the road.
