Historical Information (Source: CWGC)

Le Verguier is remembered for the stand made by the 17th Brigade (24th Division) against great odds on 21 and 22 March 1918, in commemoration of which the 24th Division gave a belfry, with a peal of bells, to the new church.

 

The churchyard contains the graves of three Commonwealth servicemen who died in September 1918, at or after the recapture of Le Verguier.
