​Location Information

Verrières is a village and commune some 26 kilometres south-east of Poitiers. The Communal Cemetery is literally 100 metres from the village centre on the western outskirts, south of the road to Gencay and before the Dienne (D31) junction, off to the right.

The communal cemetery is behind large blank green gates and there is no external indication that the cemetery lies behind these gates.

There is 1 Commonwealth burial of the 1939-1945 war here, buried in the private vault of the families Mangier and De Montjon, near the left side of the cemetery from the entrance.
