Tips from the Community
Wancourt was captured on 12 April 1917 after very heavy fighting and the advance was continued on the following days. The cemetery, called at first Cojeul Valley Cemetery, or River Road Cemetery, was opened about ten days later; it was used until October 1918, but was in German hands from March 1918 until 26 August, when the Canadian Corps recaptured Wancourt. At the Armistice, the cemetery contained 410 graves, but was very greatly increased in the following years when graves were brought in from a number of small cemeteries and isolated positions on the battlefields south-east of Arras. The cemetery now contains 1936 burials and commemorations of the First World War. 829 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to 76 casualties known or believed to be buried among them, and to 20 who were buried in Signal Trench Cemetery whose graves were destroyed in later battles.

Small statue of Menhir Bouteroue by Palluel near the roundabout. The Sensée valley is known for its mysterious menhirs and dolmens: stones from Lécluse or Aubigny-au-Bac, large boulder from Oisy-le-Verger, ... Most monoliths testify to a primitive religion. Now legends are resurfacing, tongues are wagging and myths still have bright days ahead.
