Dozinghem is one of three casualty clearing station cemeteries north-west of Poperinge with names wryly made up by soldiers at the time in imitation of Flemish place names. The other two are Mendinghem and Bandaghem (Haringhe) Miliary Cemeteries. Dozinghem was established in July 1917 in anticipation of the third Battle of Ypres. The 4th, 47th and 61st Casualty Clearing Stations were posted here and the military cemetery was used by them until early in 1918. Herbert Horton from Langahm is buried here. The cemetery was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.
