The la Targette British Cemetery, although dwarfed by it's neighbour, is still a peaceful spot, and another example of the superb work that the CWGC does. There were beautiful flowers even in mid October, and the appearance was immaculate. Although on the edge of village and next to a fairly busy road, I startled a number of rabbits when I visited late on a sunny Sunday morning. The cemetery was started in April 1917, and used until September 1918. Only a small number of graves (16) were brought in here after the Armistice. There are just under 650 graves now here, including three from the Second World War.
