Although it is uncertain as to how the farmhouse which once stood here became known as Minty Farm, it seems almost certain that the name was probably adopted by a Wiltshire unit. The farmhouse was at one time used as a German blockhouse and in 1917 as a company headquarters for allied troops. The cemetery was started here in 1917 and used until April 1918 by fighting units in the area. Over a third of burials here are of Officers and men of the Royal Artillery.
