Maubeuge (Sous-le-Bois) Cemetery
Historical Information (Source: CWGC)
Maubeuge was in German hands for practically the whole of the war and was taken by Commonwealth troops only a few days before the Armistice. The 5th Casualty Clearing Station was posted in the town from the end of November 1918 until 22 March 1919. The cemetery at Sous-le-Bois is one of three belonging to the town of Maubeuge. One Commonwealth soldier who died in September 1914 is buried behind the fossoyeur's lodge, but the main Commonwealth plot is in the south-east part of the cemetery. The cemetery contains 114 Commonwealth burials of the First World War.
