Commonwealth War Graves Ors

Ors Communal Cemetery contains over 60 Commonwealth war graves from World War I.

One of the English graves is that of Wilfred Edward Salter Owen (Oswestry (Shropshire), 18 March 1893 – near Ors (France), 4 November 1918), an English poet and soldier.
He is considered by many to be the best of the English 'War Poets' (a name for poets who wrote during and about the First World War)
