"The Badonviller National Necropolis is a military cemetery that keeps alive the memory of the fierce fighting in the Vosges during the First World War. This necropolis was built between 1920 and 1935 to regroup the bodies of French soldiers who died in the Vosges and Haute-Alsace sectors. A total of 2,653 soldiers are buried here, 1,444 in individual graves and 1,209 in two ossuaries. 28 French soldiers from the Second World War also found their final resting place here.
At the centre of the site is a monument in honour of the 363rd Infantry Regiment, designed by sculptor Antoine Sartorio. This monument originally stood on the Col de la Chapelotte, a strategic point where fierce fighting took place between 1915 and 1917.
The necropolis is not only a place of rest, but also of remembrance of the devastation which struck Badonviller, including the plundering by Bavarian troops on 12 August 1914.
