History information
The village was captured in the latter part of October, 1918, and it has been "adopted" by the Borough of Keighley. The cemetery contains, near the North East corner, the graves of three soldiers from the United Kingdom who fell in or after the capture of the village. Immediately in front of the Cross of Sacrifice is the grave of an un-identified British airman who fell during the 1939-1945 War.
