Mill Road Cemetery, located near Thiepval in northern France, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission burial ground established as a battlefield cemetery for troops killed during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. Designed by Sir Herbert Baker, the cemetery was created in 1917 and significantly expanded following battlefield clearances in 1919. After the Armistice, graves were consolidated from surrounding sites including Beaumont-Hamel, Thiepval, and several smaller divisional cemeteries, bringing the total to 1,304 Commonwealth soldiers, of which 815 remain unidentified. The site is designated a French monument historique and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
