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.

Courmas is a village about 11 kilometres south-west of Reims. From Reims take the D980 towards Chateau-Thierry and Dormons, passing through the village of Pargny les Reims. After about 8 kilometres turn left along the D6, signposted towards Courmas. On entering the village, turn first right into Rue des Hauts Mur (C11) towards Bouilly, then take the second left into Rue du Pont de Pierre, next to the CWGC direction sign. 30 metres on the right is a small parking area. As the unmade road is not suitable for vehicles, from here walk down the unmade road for 700 metres to the Cemetery.

The cemetery was made after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from the neighbouring battlefields and from Courmas Village and Courmas Chateau British Cemeteries, small cemeteries made by the 62nd (West Riding) Division after the fighting of the 20th July 1918.

There are now over 200 Commonwealth World War I casualties commemorated at this site. Of these, over a quarter are unidentified and special memorials are erected to seven British soldiers believed to be buried among them. The cemetery covers an area of 605 square metres and it is enclosed by a stone rubble wall.
