Somme WW1 Battlefield, July 1st-November 1916, France. Munich Trench CWGC Cemetery, Beaumont Hamel. February 2014
Caption Information from CWGC web site.
Munich Trench British Cemetery (originally V Corps Cemetery No.8) was named from a German trench captured by the 7th Division on 11 January 1917. The cemetery contains 126 First World War burials, 28 of them unidentified.
Beaumont-Hamel was captured in November 1916, in the Battle of the Ancre, and the graves in this cemetery are largely those of men who died at that time. The burials were carried out by the V Corps in the spring of 1917, after the German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line.
The cemetery was designed by W H Cowlishaw.
