Two brigadiers are interred in the cemetery; John Roland Mackintosh-Walker of the Seaforth Highlanders and James Hargest from the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.

There are 24 Scots Guards (3rd Battalion) buried within, most lost their lives on hill 226 (now renumbered 232) near Les Loges on the push south from Caumont.

The cemetery is 14 km south-east of Bayeux, between Hottot-les-Bagues and Juvigny-sur-Seulles on the D.9 road.
