​Chuffilly-Roche is a village and commune some 23 miles (37 kilometres) south of Mezieres and 11.25 miles (18 kilometres) east-south-east of Rethel. Communications are very poor, and the only practical method of visiting the village is by taxi from Rethel, which is on the main railway line from Paris to Luxembourg. The communal cemetery is on the north-eastern outskirts of the village on the D.23 road to Voncq.

The one British grave is near the south-western corner.
