Divisional Collecting Post Cemetery and Extension is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Ypres (Dutch: Ieper) in Belgium on the Western Front.
The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.[1]
The cemetery was established by field ambulances of the 48th (South Midland) Division and the 58th (London) Division in August 1917 and was used until January 1918.[2] From 1924 to 1926, after the armistice, the cemetery was enlarged by concentrating battlefield graves and those from smaller cemeteries.[3]
The cemetery and its extension were considered separate sites until their records were combined in 2001.
The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.
