Montauban village, located in the south of the British sector, fell to the excellent 18th and 30th Divisions on July 1st in what was one of the rare successes of that terrible day. Quarry Cemetery is located on the site of an advanced dressing station and originally contained the graves of 157 soldiers who had succumbed to their wounds, but this was increased when the surrounding fields were cleared of their dreadful harvest after the battle. It now contains the graves of 740 Commonwealth soldiers, amongst them a number of commemorations of casualties buried during the battle, but whose graves were subsequently lost. The Germans also buried a number of their dead here during their final offensive of 1918 when this ground was again lost to them, and their graves remain, as beautifully tended as those of their former enemies.
