"Inchy En Artois" with shelled buildings
WW I - "Inchy En Artois" shows shelled buildings. Sign on wall" Inchy En Artois". Second sign might be in German.
Inchy-en-Artois is a farming village in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais situated 27 km southeast of Arras in the Pas-de-Calais department of France, on the west side of the Canal du Nord. Triangle Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery is south-east of the village, in the triangle at the junction of the roads to Moeuvres and Bourlon. The Cemetery is approximately 13 kilometres from Cambrai. The church of St.Martin was rebuilt along with all of the village, after the First World War.
The line between Inchy and Moeuvres was broken by the 4th Canadian Division on the morning of the 27th September 1918, and the cemetery was made after the battle by fighting units and Field Ambulances.
