Description

The Main Dressing Station for this section of the front was here at Canada Farm, which you can see just beyond the cemetery.
Canada Farm Cemetery was started in july 1917. Casualties from the Guards Division were the first to be buried here. It was used until the end of the Third Battle of Ypres. Most of those buried here died at the field hospital. The majority of the casualties are from the Royal Artillery (438) and the Guards Division (144), who were fatally wounded during the Third Battle of Ypres and were brought back to the Canada Farm field hospital for treatment.
According to the register, the cemetery contains 898 British and 9 Canadian burials, all of which are identified. Amongst them is the grave of the very young Lieutenant-Colonel E.B. Greer of the Irish Guards.
