Historical
Information:
|
St.
Omer was the General Headquarters of the
British Expeditionary Force from October
1914 to March 1916. Lord Roberts died
there in November 1914. The town was a
considerable hospital centre with the
4th, 10th, 7th Canadian, 9th Canadian
and New Zealand Stationary Hospitals,
the 7th, 58th (Scottish) and 59th (Northern)
General Hospitals, and the 17th, 18th
and 1st and 2nd Australian Casualty Clearing
Stations all stationed there at some time
during the war. St. Omer suffered air
raids in November 1917 and May 1918, with
serious loss of life. The cemetery takes
its names from the triangular cemetery
of the St. Omer garrison, properly called
the Souvenir Cemetery (Cimetiere du Souvenir
Francais) which is located next to the
War Cemetery. The Commonwealth section
of the cemetery contains 2,874 Commonwealth
burials of the First World War (6 unidentified),
with special memorials commemorating 23
men of the Chinese Labour Corps whose
graves could not be exactly located. Second
World War burials number 403, (93 unidentified).
Within the Commonwealth section there
are also 34 non-war burials and 239 war
graves of other nationalities. The cemetery
was designed by Sir Herbert Baker.
