Lievin was captured by the Canadian Corps on the 14th April, 1917, and remained in British hands until the end of the War. The Extension was made after the Armistice by the concentration of graves from certain smaller cemeteries and from the battlefields North and South of Lens. The majority of these soldiers fell in April, 1917, but others were killed as early as January, 1915, and as late as October, 1918.
