Albert Communal Cemetery is on the South-East side of the town, at the junction of the roads to Fricourt and Meaulte, and the Extension is entirely enclosed by it except for the frontage to the Fricourt road. The Extension was used by fighting units and Field Ambulances from August 191 5 to November 1916, and more particularly in and after September 1916, when Field Ambulances were concentrated at Albert. From November 1916, the 5th Casualty Clearing Station used it for two months. From March 1917, it was not used (except for four burials in March 1918) until the end of August 1918, when Plot II was made by the 18th (Eastern) Division. The Extension contains the graves of 618 soldiers from the United Kingdom, 202 from Canada, 39 from Australia and two of the British West Indies Regiment; one man whose unit in our forces is not known; and one employee of the Imperial War Graves Commission. Five graves, destroyed by shell fire, are now represented by special memorials. The unnamed graves are twelve in number. The Extension covers an area of 4,156 square yards.
