La Targette - Paul Nizan

"A Neuville-Saint-Vaast, au hameau de la Targette, une nécropole française jouxte le La Targette British Cemetery. Le strict alignement des croix françaises contraste avec la volonté paysagère et architecturale des Britanniques, marquée notamment par deux élégants mausolées de style indien. "

"La Targette British Cemetery, formerly known as Aux-Rietz Military Cemetery, was begun at the end of April 1917 and used by field ambulances and fighting units until September 1918. Nearly a third of the graves have an artillery connection; in March-April 1917, the artillery of the 2nd Canadian and 5th Divisions, and certain heavy artillery units, had their headquarters in a deep cave at Aux-Rietz. Sixteen graves were brought into the cemetery from the immediate neighbourhood after the Armistice."
