Bagneux British Cemetery, located south of Gézaincourt in the Somme département of northern France, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery established in April 1918 following the German offensive in Picardy. Formally laid out by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the cemetery contains 1,374 Commonwealth service personnel from the First World War—predominantly 1,145 British soldiers, alongside 181 New Zealanders, 46 Canadians, and individual Australian and British Indian casualties. The buried dead came chiefly from two British and one Canadian field hospital, with several graves in Plot III marking victims of a German air raid on nearby Doullens on 30 May 1918.
