Bray Vale British Cemetery is on the east side of the town of Albert. Bray Vale British Cemetery (called at one time Bray British Cemetery) consisted originally of the 25 graves (of August 1918) in Plot II, Row A, but it was enlarged soon after the Armistice when further graves were brought in from the neighbourhood. In 1923 the space between the cemetery and the road, now Plots III and IV, was filled by graves brought in mainly from the battlefields of 1916 round Thiepval and Courcelette. The cemetery contains 279 First World War burials, 172 of them unidentified. The cemetery was designed by A J S Hutton.
