It was also designed by the British architect, sir Robert Lorimer. It was originally used for the dead soldiers of the casualties identification station of the front since September 1916. At that time, it included about 500 graves and was adjacent to the French-Italian military cemetery. After the Armistice, the size of the cemetery tripled, as a result of the transfer there of graves from the following cemeteries: Hadji Barry Ma (transferred in April 1919), Tsaousitsa (transferred in November 1920) and Kalinovo (transferred in December 1920).
Today, there are 1,421 graves of British soldiers, five graves of soldiers of the Greek National Army, nine graves of members of the Macedonian Donkey Corps, three graves of members of the Macedonian Workers’ Corps, and one grave of a Greek follower of the Labour Corps.
