Le Trou Aid Post Cemetery was established in October 1914 by British soldiers of the 19th Infantry Brigade during the First Battle of Ypres.

The cemetery initially contained 123 graves, but was expanded after the war. It now contains over 350 graves, of which over 200 are unknown. The cemetery commemorates soldiers who died in a number of battles, including Le Maisnil (October 1914), Aubers Ridge (May 1915), Loos (September–October 1915), and Fromelles (July 1916).

A special feature of the cemetery is its rural setting, surrounded by a narrow moat and sheltered by a grove of weeping willows. Visitors reach the cemetery via a footbridge and enter through a delicate cottage-style gate.

Y Farm Military Cemetery

Highlight • Historical Site

A very cosmopolitan First World War cemetery, it has the rare distinction of counting graves from all over the Commonwealth: South Africa, New Zealand, India, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Among the 837 graves, there are even two German graves. Among the Christian tombs, there are also Muslim or Sikh tombs.
