The Bapaume Communal Cemetery (French: Cimetière communal de Bapaume) is a cemetery located in the French commune of Bapaume (Pas-de-Calais). It is in part a military cemetery, one of several in the area maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The CWGC graves are in small plots scattered in different parts of the cemetery and commemorate British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought in World War I and World War II.
The cemetery is located north of Bapaume, which is itself located on the D917 road between the cities of Arras and Paris.
The soldiers honoured mostly died fighting near the village of Bapaume between September 1914 and September 1918.[1]
The site includes 25 identified British and Commonwealth graves, of which 24 are from World War I and one is from World War II. The site also contains 2 unidentified Commonwealth graves.[2]
Bapaume is also the site of Bapaume Australian Cemetery. Another similarly-named cemetery is Bapaume Post Military Cemetery, which is not in the village but on the Route nationale 29 near Albert.
