Historical Information

The extension to Warvillers churchyard was made by fighting units in August 1918. It contains 48 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, three of which are unidentified. The extension was designed by W H Cowlishaw.

One of those buried here is the Cree marksman Henry Norwest MM and Bar. (Grave A 30). He won his first Military Medal during the great Canadian victory at Vimy in April 1917.
