ACHIET-LE-GRAND COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION Pas de Calais, France

Achiet-le-Grand is a large village in the department of the Pas-de-Calais 19 kilometres south of Arras. The Military Cemetery is situated at the north-west side of the village alongside the Communal Cemetery.

One should take the main road from Arras to Bapaume (N17). At Ervillers turn right on to the D9 towards Achiet. At the first junction in the village a CWGC signpost indicates the way towards the right.
