    The Fricourt German Military Cemetery is the second largest German military cemetery in the Somme region. There you can pay tribute to the 17,027 soldiers who died during the First World War, many of them at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. You can also see the original grave of the famous Red Baron, Manfred von Richtofen, who was shot down in 1918 and later transferred to Berlin. The cemetery is located on the outskirts of the village of Fricourt, which was a fortified stronghold of the German army until its capture by the British in July 1916.
