Montay is a village a little north of the town of Le Cateau, which is approximately 19 kilometres south-east of Cambrai. Selridge British Cemetery is about 1.5 kilometres west of Montay.

Montay was reached in the Pursuit to the Selle on the 10th October, 1918; and on the 28th and 29th the cemetery was made by the 33rd Division and given the name of Selridge from its position above the river valley. It contained originally 60 graves, dating from the 10th October to the 1st November, the majority belonged to the 6th or 12th Lancashire Fusiliers or the 2nd Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders; but after the Armistice the graves from Neuvilly British Cemetery No. 2 (and one other) were brought in to it. The Glasgow Highlanders (9th H.L.I.), eleven of whose men are buried in the cemetery, erected a wooden memorial in it to their dead of the 12th October.

There are now nearly 150 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, a small number are unidentified. The Cemetery covers an area of 565 square metres and is enclosed by a low rubble wall.
