Nécropole militaire allemande de Lassigny

The Lassigny military cemetery is an impressive and sober memorial site where 1,777 German soldiers from the First World War are buried.
The cemetery was created in 1919 by the French military authorities, initially as a Franco-German communal cemetery. Its origins lie in a mass grave from the summer of 1918, in which 55 unknown French soldiers were buried. In 1922, the French bodies were transferred to another cemetery, after which the site was converted into a German military cemetery. The fallen came from more than 27 municipalities in the region, up to 18 km away.
In 1977, the cemetery took on its current form, with metal crosses bearing the names and dates of the fallen. A monolithic memorial marks the entrance to the site.

Each cross indicates the function of the warrior.
