Villers-Bocage Communal Cemetery Extension, located in the Somme region of France, is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintained cemetery established in 1915. Designed by George Hartley Goldsmith and Edwin Lutyens, the cemetery reflects the architectural principles Lutyens brought to numerous First World War burial grounds, combining memorial solemnity with careful landscape design. The extension serves as a final resting place for Commonwealth servicemen and stands as one of many cemeteries created during and after the Great War in the Somme, a region of devastating casualties.
