The cemetery was used again by the 51st (Highland) Division who buried many of their dead in it following the capture of Beaumont Hamel in November 1916. 

From that time it was little used until the period April to August 1918 when the German attack on Amiens brought the front line very close to the cemetery. 

Among other units, the 12th Division buried some of their dead in the cemetery during May 1918, followed by the 21st Division in August 1918.

After the Armistice graves from the battlefields immediately north east of the village were brought into the cemetery including a group of thirty graves previously buried in the village itself in what had been known as Mailly-Maillet Military Cemetery. 

It was discovered that six British graves in the military cemetery had been destroyed by shell fire and these are represented by special memorials at the north west end of Mailly Wood Cemetery.  There are also special memorials to two British soldiers thought to be buried in the cemetery.
