Historical Information

The village of Ramillies was captured by the Canadian Corps on the night of 8-9 October 1918. The original cemetery contained 93 graves dating from 30 September to 17 October but after the Armistice, further graves were brought into the cemetery from Escaudoeuvres Convent Cemetery and one (that of a Chinese labourer) from Malincourt German Cemetery. Ramillies British Cemetery now contains 180 First World War burials. The cemetery was designed by W C Von Berg.
