[2] The position, north of Ypres, was used as an Advanced Dressing Station (a first aid post set back from the main front but within easy reach of it) for Commonwealth troops in the area.

[3] Additionally, there are graves for the men of the 13th Company Labour Corps who were killed by a German aircraft bombing a Commonwealth ammunition truck.

The cemetery has given its name to the "Duhallow Block", a special memorial for soldiers whose graves were destroyed in later battles.

Graves include one World War II Commonwealth casualty, killed during the retreat in May 1940.

Also buried here is Private 10603 John Seymour of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers,[5] who was executed by the British authorities on 24 January 1918 for being absent from roll call on 27 November 1917.
