Buffs Road Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) burial ground for the dead of the First World War located near Ypres (Dutch: Ieper) in Belgium on the Western Front.
The cemetery grounds were assigned to the United Kingdom in perpetuity by King Albert I of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifices made by the British Empire in the defence and liberation of Belgium during the war.[1]
Foundation
The cemetery, named after the nickname of a nearby small lane,[2] was founded in July 1917 by the 12th, 13th and 14th Royal Sussex Regiment and the Royal Artillery.[3] After the armistice, the cemetery was enlarged by concentrating battlefield graves and that of one officer buried in Brielen Churchyard in 1915,[3] whilst one Belgian soldier was removed.[2]
The cemetery was designed by A J S Hutton.[3]
