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.
