The site is located 700 metres north of the centre (municipal hall) at the Cours N4 du Cimetière.

A Commonwealth military burial site is located in the northeastern corner of the cemetery and includes 113 identified and 31 non-identified victims of the Second World War.

These victims mainly died in May 1940 during the withdrawal of the British Expeditionary Force to Dunkirk.

Four British casualties of the First World War are buried between civilians' graves.

The graves are administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and are registered under Wormhoudt Communal Cemetery.
