Additional Information
* Please note the layout of this cemetery and its extension is very confusing. Abbeville Communal Cemetery consist of a small, separated area with rows A to E (no obvious plot number - the French graves are allocated plot I (1) and II (2)), plus plots III (3), IV (4), V (5), VI (6) in the lower level of the larger cemetery area. The extension consists of plots I (1), II (2), III (3), IV (4), V (5), VI (6), VII (7) VIII (8) and IX (9) - the raised area of the larger area of cemetery with the CWGC building.
