Military cemetery created in 1916 during the Battle of Verdun. It contains the remains of 6,537 French soldiers, including 2,000 in ossuaries. Most of them died in 1916 on the right bank of the Meuse, near strategic points such as Côte 344 and Thiaumont. In 1961, 151 soldiers who died in the Second World War were also buried there. The necropolis covers 3.2 hectares and was set up between 1919 and 1934

Among the thousands of fallen soldiers who rest here is Caporal Louis Micol, a soldier of the 19th Battalion of Chasseurs à Pied. He was not only a soldier, but also the founder of one of the first French front newspapers: Le Son du Cor, a trench newspaper written by and for soldiers. Micol died on 18 September 1915 in Brabant-en-Argonne and is buried in grave no. 390. His story is a reminder that even in the midst of the violence of war, soldiers sought ways to make their voices heard, share experiences and preserve their humanity.
