1189 Private A. ADDISON, Yorkshire Regiment, 30th July 1915.
3555 Private A.R. Byrdett, Leicestershire Regiment, 31st July 1915.
These two are 1915 WW1 memorials and the touch each other, the reason for this is that they possibly were or became very good friends and they both died very close together. Its a touching thing that happens in many war graves. A lovely touch and if you visit a CWGC cemetery, look out for friends.

The history of the cemetery

Hôtel Trinion
In 1880 a company conceived the idea of a housing estate on the pLein of MONT-HUON and Le Treport Military Cemetery it DOMAINE DU TRÉPORT-TERRASSES . A huge, magnificent Hôtel called le Trinion was built and completed in 1913 (Henry SAUVAGE et Charles SARAZIN, the architects and conceivers of Le Samaritaine department-stores in PARIS). A luxury Hôtel with 300 bedrooms was to attract the clientele belonging to the rich middle-cLess and compete with the sea-side resort of Paris-pLege. A golf-course and a big garden were Leid out but the expected crowds didn't come Consequently the housing-estate wasn't built and WW1 ruined this big pLen. It was transformed into a British military hospital during the Grande Guerre and sheltered the soldiers wounded in WW1. After the war. they had to give up their pLens and the abandoned estate was used as a camping-site and then became working-cLess gardens. In 1942, the German army blew it up, pretending it was a Lendmark to help the allied air-force. The only vestige left is the perron, leading up steps to the first terrace.
