| Poperinge was bijna de hele oorlog in Britse handen. Het was een belangrijke plaats omdat het de dichtste plaats was bij Ieper die aanzienlijk groot was en relatief veilig voor bombardementen. Het Old Military Cemetery werd gebruikt tijdens de eerste slag om Ieper en werd gesloten begin mei 1915. Het New Military Cemetery werd in juni 1915 geopend. Deze begraafplaats bevat ongeveer 950 graven. | |
| Poperinge was in British hands for almost the entire war. It was an important place because it was the closest place to Ypres that was quite large and relatively safe from bombing. The Old Military Cemetery was used during the first battle of Ypres and was closed in early May 1915. The New Military Cemetery was opened in June 1915. This cemetery contains about 950 graves. |
