Commemorative Information
Cemetery: ST. HILAIRE CEMETERY, FREVENT, Pas de
Calais, France
Grave Reference/Panel Number: III. A. 2.
Location:
The town of Frevent is 39 kilometres west of Arras, 12 kilometres south of St
Pol and 16 kilometres south-east of Hesdin. St Hilaire Cemetery and Extension is
on the eastern side of the town on the south side of the secondary road to
Sericourt (D54).
Historical Information:
Frevent was, from its position, a place of some importance on the Lines of
Communication. It came into the British area for all purposes in March 1916. The
43rd Casualty Clearing Station was posted there from April to June 1916; part of
the Lucknow Casualty Clearing Station in June; the 6th Stationary Hospital from
June 1916 to the end of August 1918; and the 3rd Canadian, 19th and 43rd
Casualty Clearing Stations in the summer of 1918. The great majority of the
burials in the Cemetery were carried out from these hospitals. During the
1939-45 War the greater part of Frevent was destroyed by bombing. An aerial
torpedo fell in the cemetery, which is near the railway line, damaging some of
the graves; but the British plot was not affected. There are now over 200,
1914-18 and over 10, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this cemetery.
