Fort Duomont is an interesting historical site. Here you can practically feel the claustrophobia the soldiers must have experienced while fighting here. It's also impressive to think how many died trying to capture this hill.

National Trésauvaux Necropolis This military cemetery was created in 1915 and contains the remains of 2,960 French soldiers who died during the fierce fighting in the Hauts de Meuse during the First World War. Of these, 852 unknown soldiers are buried in an ossuary. The site also groups together bodies that were later transferred from isolated graves and temporary cemeteries around Les Éparges, Mouilly and Mesnil-sous-les-Côtes. On 30 October 1914, during the First World War, the front line was placed in the commune, attired by the 104th Infantry Regiment.

The monument was created in 1930 by the sculptor Duilio Donzelli, originally from Lacroix-sur-Meuse. Like many French villages after the Great War, Bonzée erected this monument to pay tribute to the local soldiers who gave their lives for France. The names of the fallen are listed on the monument, often with inscriptions such as "Mort pour la France" or "Tué à l'ennemi". What makes it extra special is that Bonzée is located in an area that was badly affected during the war, near the infamous ridge of Les Éparges. The monument is therefore not only a symbol of mourning, but also of the deep scars that the conflict has left in this region.
