BOTTOM WOOD CEMETERY, FRICOURT, on the south edge of a small wood between Mametz and Fricourt Woods. This was a field ambulance station for some months from July 1916, and the cemetery contained 104 graves.

 

Maybe someone can come up with a map of its location for you.

 

The graves were concentrated into Dantzig Alley British Cemetery, Mametz.
