"Chauny is a commune 35 kilometres west of Laon. Chauny Communal Cemetery British Extension can be reached from the direction of Ham following the D937, Ham to Chauny road.
It is necessary to cross a major road, the N32. Shortly after the junction the approach to Chauny is via a roundabout and a small industrial estate. After several hundred metres a left turn must be made at the first set of traffic lights, following the CWGC sign.
Chauny Communal Cemetery British Extension will be found 300 metres after the junction on the right side of the road.
The Extension was made after the Armistice for the burial of remains brought in from the battlefields of the Aisne and from the following "maller cemeteries in the surrounding countryside."
The Cemetery Extension covers an area of 3,729 square metres.
