2 is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground for the dead of World War I situated on the grounds of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial Park near the French town of Neuville-Saint-Vaast.

Battlefield clearances of the surrounding area in 1919 significantly increased the size of the cemetery.

The cemetery covers an area of 10,869 square metres and is enclosed by low walls of coursed stone.

Twenty-nine Canadian soldiers buried in 11th Canadian Infantry Brigade Cemetery and near Gunner's Crater, both in Givenchy-en-Gohelle, but whose graves are now lost are commemorated by special memorial headstones, inscribed to this effect.

Private Charles Milligan, 10th Bn Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) was executed for desertion June 3, 1917.
