Tincourt New British Cemetery

 

Tincourt is a village about 7 kilometres east of Péronne and Tincourt New British Cemetery is on the west side of the village, just off the D199.

The villages were occupied by British troops in March 1917, during the German Retreat to the Hindenburg Line; and from the following May until March 1918, Tincourt became a centre for Casualty Clearing Stations. After the Armistice it was used for the reburial of soldiers found on the battlefield, or buried in small French or German cemeteries.
