About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The village of Mazingarbe is 10 kilometres south-east of Bethune. The cemetery is located on the eastern side of the village, 200 yards off the N43 from the direction of Lens.

Fosse 7 ["fosse" is French for "mine pit" or "mine shaft," but also for "grave"] was four kilometres east of Mazingarbe, on the west side of the road from Lens to Bethune, and it consisted of a mineshaft-head and an electric power station with a garden suburb of miners' houses (the trench which led into the cemetery was named "Quality Street" during the War). Fosse 7 Cemetery was begun by French troops in May 1915, and carried on by British units from June 1915, to April 1917.

There are now over 100 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, over 10 are unidentified and 17 -- destroyed by shell fire -- are now represented by special memorials. The cemetery covers an area of 1200 square metres and is enclosed by a rubble wall.
