The Cemetery is in the northern outskirts of the village, 91 metres west of the Arras road, in the valley of the Cojeul. Visitors should take the D919 Arras to Bucquoy road. In the centre of Ayette a CWGC signpost will be seen. At the end of the village take the left fork towards Ablainzeville (D7). The cemetery is set back off the road, next to a farm, and at about 100 metres along this road a further CWGC signpost indicates the access path to the cemetery along a farm track. On leaving the site, visitors can either reverse back down the farm track or drive straight ahead to get back to the village of Ayette. It should be noted that vehicle access is difficult along the farm track during wet conditions.” Holt p132

Small secluded CWG graveyard for Chinese and Indian workers who were employed supporting the war effort. It highlights another aspect of The Great War

Cemetery dedicated to the men of the Labour Corps of both nations (CLC and ILC). These men deserve every bit of credit for their work during the First World War. The track up to the cemetery, which is rather poorly signposted, is hard to negotiate, especially in bad weather. There is no parkingspace at the cemetery and no possibility to turn a car around. These men deserve better!

It's a shock to me that over 200,000 Chinese Labourers contributed to the WWI as Chinese Labourers for the Brits and the French, however no one really knows about this place - these people are basically forgotten by their decendants, died in a foreign land serving the Western troops. I'm glad this place is maintained as an honor to the dead.

Nicely tucked away, but still a well maintained reminder of the contribution of people who had in fact nothing to do with this war.

Very touching as a Chinese visiting it in 2023, over 100 years later...
