The Nécropole nationale de Cormicy is a French military cemetery from the First World War, located in the municipality of Cormicy, near Reims. The cemetery was created during the war to collect the bodies of the soldiers who died during the fighting on the Chemin des Dames. The cemetery was later expanded to include bodies excavated from other temporary cemeteries in the Vesle valley12. The cemetery has an area of 44,213 m² and contains 14,431 graves, of which 6,945 are in two ossuaries. Among the buried soldiers are two British from the First World War and ten from the Second World War. The cemetery is also called “La Maison Bleue”, after the farm that used to be there.

On the edge of the Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne is this necropolis which pays homage to the dead of the great war. A little further in Berry-au-Bac, you will find another monument dedicated to the deaths of the tanks.
