Grove Town Cemetery contains a total of 1,392 graves, comprising 1,364 from the United Kingdom, 14 from Australia, 12 from Canada and one from New Zealand. There is one unknown grave in the cemetery.
In September 1916 the 34th and 2/2nd London Casualty Clearing Stations were established at this point to deal with casualties from the Somme battlefields. It was known locally as ‘la demie-lieue’ and by the British as ‘Grove Town’.
Grove Town Cemetery is set in open countryside south of Albert, about halfway along the secondary road heading southwest from Méaulte to Bray-sur-Somme. The cemetery is approximately three miles from Albert.
