The village of Écoust-St. Mein figures prominently in Sir Samuel Alexander Mendes recent film 1917. Écoust-St. Mein was captured by the 8th and 9th Devons in a blizzard on 2 April 1917, lost on 21 March 1918, and retaken at the end of the following August by the 3rd Division. The British Cemetery was then made, in continuation of a German Extension (now removed) of the communal cemetery. The cemetery contains 151 burials of the Great War, eight of which are unidentified. The cemetery was designed by W. H. Cowlishaw.
