Hébuterne was again the scene of fighting in March 1918, when the New Zealand Division held up the advancing enemy; and during the following summer it was partly in German hands.

Hébuterne was later "adopted" by the Borough of Evesham.

Hébuterne Military Cemetery was begun by the 18th (South Midland) Division in August 1915 and used by fighting units and field ambulances - particularly those of the 56th (London) Division - until the spring of 1917.  It was reopened in 1918.  The conditions of burial explain the irregularity of the rows. 

Special memorials are erected to 17 UK soldiers thought to be buried in the cemetery. 

Hébuterne Military Cemetery covers a significant area – over 6,500 square metres and contains over 750 graves.  April 27, 2002.  (02-25-02)
