MILLENCOURT is a small village just to the NNW of Albert located on the D91 road.

The communal cemetery was used by units and field ambulances from August 1915 to May 1916, at which time burials of local units, field ambulances, and the III Corps Main Dressing Station took place.  In March - April  1918 it was used by the 4th Australian Division and other units as a result of fighting in Huberterne and Dernancourt. Millencourt Communal Cemetery Extension now contains 340 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, and five German burials. The extension was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.
