Remembered Today:

French cemetery details - help needed.

I am currently researching women who died due to the bombardment of Saint Gervais church on the 29th March 1918. I have found the following website :- https://www.geneanet.org/archives/registres/view/209357/11

Three of my women are listed; Madeleine Catherine Hebbert, Marguerite Cunningham and her sister, Yvonne Marie Cunningham. What I cannot grasp is what the page is trying to tell me. Is this a Register of a particular graveyard and, if so, where ?  Is it showing the plots of burials ?  Is it showing exhumations where bodies were buried in haste after their deaths but the families wanted them buried elsewhere ?

On the bottom it says "Daily registers of burial Ivry-sur-Seine"

Under "Situation de la sépulture" it gives the grave location.

E.g. for the Cunningham sisters  section 32, row 10, nr 12 

Buried on 5th April 1918
