Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery Extension, located in Pas-de-Calais in northern France, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery designed by the renowned architect Edwin Lutyens. The extension adjoins the existing communal cemetery in the village of Achiet-le-Grand and reflects Lutyens's distinctive approach to war memorial design, which balanced classical restraint with solemn dignity—a hallmark of CWGC cemeteries from the First World War era.
