Layout & History
During the Battle of the Somme Beaumont-Hamel was attacked in vain on 1 July 1916 and finally captured by the 51st (Highland) and 63rd (Royal Naval) Divisions on the following 13 November. Hunter's Cemetery, possibly named after Reverend Hunter, a Chaplain attached to the Black Watch Regiment, is in fact a great shell-hole. Soldiers of the 51st Division, who fell in the capture of Beaumont-Hamel were buried in the shell-hole after the battle. There are now over 40, 1914–18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Hunter's Cemetery stands at the upper end of Y Ravine, within Newfoundland Memorial Park.
