Walking into the cemetary.

Evgene Ternisien Maire Reginald Blomfield R.A. Architect. He designed many of the crosses of sacrifice seen in CWGC cemeteries

Margret Trevenen Arnold. V.A.D. attd. 16th Gen. Hosp. Died 12th March 1916. Age 31. Daughter of Edward and Minnie Arnold, of Pook Hill, Chiddingfold, Surrey. Plot 2. Row 0. Grave 22.

A. Addison, Yorkshire Regt. & A.R. Burdett, Leicester Regt.
These two are 30th/31st July 1915 memorials and they touch each other, the reason for this is that they possibly were or became very good friends and they both died very closely together. Its a touching thing that happens in many British war graves. A lovely touch and if you visit a CWGC cemetery, look out for friends.

The cemetery was placed next to the local cemetery but as it filled up another cemetery was opened at 'Le Mont-Houn'.

In 1880 a company conceived the idea of a housing estate on the plein of MONT-HUON and it DOMAINE DU TRÉPORT-TERRASSES . A huge, magnificent Hôtel called le Trinion was built and completed in 1913 (Henry SAUVAGE et Charles SARAZIN, the architects and conceivers of Le Samaritaine department-stores in PARIS). A luxury Hôtel with 300 bedrooms was to attract the clientele belonging to the rich middle-class and compete with the sea-side resort of Paris-plage. A golf-course and a big garden were Layaid out but the expected crowds didn't come. Consequently the housing-estate wasn't built and WW1 ruined this big plan. It was transformed into a British military hospital during the Grande Guerre and sheltered the soldiers wounded in WW1. After the war. they had to give up their plans and the abandoned estate and it was used as a camping-site and then became working-class gardens. In 1942, the German army blew it up, pretending it was a Landmark to help the allied air-force. The only vestige left is the perron, leading up steps to the first terrace.
