CAUDRY BRITISH CEMETERY Nord, France
Caudry is a large village 10 kilometres east of Cambrai on the south side of the main road to Le Cateau. From the Cambrai-Le Cateau road (the N 43) take the dual carriageway into Caudry town. Follow this road for 1100 metres to a traffic light controlled junction. Turn left and follow this road for approximately 225 metres to a small road on the right (the first CWGC sign is at this junction). The Caudry British Cemetery lies on the left side of the road after travelling 100 metres.
