Trefcon British Cemetery
Caulaincourt, Departement de l'Aisne, Picardie, France
Trefcon and Caulaincourt are two villages about 14 kilometres west of St. Quentin on the south side of the main N29 Amiens-St. Quentin road. The cemetery is situated between the two villages on the D34 road.
On the 22nd March, 1918 Caulaincourt and Trefcon were captured by the Germans, in spite of a stout defence by the 50th (Northumbrian) Division. The villages were regained by British troops in September, 1918. The cemetery was made by the IX Corps (6th and 32nd Divisions) in September 1918, and was called at that time Caulaincourt Military Cemetery.
There are now nearly 300 World War I and a small number of World War II casualties commemorated at this site. Of these, over 10 from the WWI are unidentified. The cemetery covers an area of 977 square metres and is enclosed by a low rubble wall.
