The Regna Trench was attacked again without success by the 1st and 3rd Canadian Divisions on October 8.  It was taken in part by the 18th and 4th Canadian Divisions on October 21 and finally cleared by the 4th Canadian Division on November 11.

The original part of Regina Trench Cemetery – what is now Plot II Rows A to D – was made in the winter of 1916-17. 

Regina Trench Cemetery was completed after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from the battlefields of Courcelette, Grandcourt and Miraumont. 

Two considerable groups of scattered graves, classed as cemeteries, were concentrated in to Regina Trench Cemetery:

• Courcelette Road Cemetery:  The cemetery was on the west side of West Miraumont Road, between Courcelette and Miraumont, and in it were buried soldiers from Canada and from the United Kingdom, who fell in September-November 1916
• Miraumont British Cemetery:  The cemetery was on the east side of the same road.  It contained the graves of soldiers from Canada and from the United Kingdom, who fell in September-December 1916

Regina Trench Cemetery contains a total of 2,278 graves of which 1,077 are unknown. 

There are special memorials to 13 soldiers from the UK and one from Canada who are thought to be buried in the cemetery. 

Regina Trench Cemetery is located 1.5km north west of Courcelette.
