Aix-Noulette is a large village 8 kilometres south-south-east of Bethune on the main road to Arras. About 1.5 kilometres south of the village and a little west of the main road is the hamlet of Noulette. Bois-de-Noulette British Cemetery is on the south side of the hamlet.
This cemetery was made by Field Ambulances between April 1916, and May 1917, and was at first Bois-de-Noulette New Cemetery, to distinguish it from the many small French military cemeteries in or near the wood. There are now over 100, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. The cemetery covers an area of 857 square metres and is enclosed by a rubble wall.
