Ovillers Military Cemetery is situated 1 km north of La Boisselle. It originated as a battle cemetery behind a dressing station and used until March 17.

The cemetery contains 3,440 graves of which 2,480 are unidentified. Of the 960 identified casualties, 290 are recorded as being killed on 1st July 1916. There are 76 Tyneside Scottish and 27 Tyneside Irish graves. There are many unidentified Tyneside Scots buried in the cemetery, many of whom would have probably lost their lives on 1st July 1916.
