Historical Information: Le Treport was an important hospital centre during the war. By July, 1916 it contained three General Hospitals (the 3rd, 16th and 2nd Canadian), No. 3 Convalescent Depot, and Lady Murray's B.R.C.S. Hospital; the original Military Cemetery was nearly filled, and it became necessary to use the new site at Mont Huon. The 7th Canadian, 47th and 16th U.S.A. General Hospitals arrived later. The hospitals were closed in March, 1919. There are now over 2,000, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site and 7 from the 1939-45 War. The Cemetery covers an area of 7,851 square metres.
