Westhof Farm served as the headquarters for the New Zealand Division in May and June 1917. The cemetery was also opened in May 1917 and continued to be used by fighting units and field ambulances until April 1918, following which it fell into German hands for a period of five months.
The cemetery now commemorates 131 Commonwealth servicemen and five casualties of other nationalities. Special memorials were erected for four soldiers from the United Kingdom and two from New Zealand whose graves were later destroyed by shellfire.
