One of the most notable figures buried here is Michel Coiffard, a French fighter pilot from the First World War. Originally an infantryman, he was declared unfit for service after an injury, but managed to re-enlist – this time in the air force. As a member of escadrille 154, he specialised in shooting down German observation balloons, an extremely dangerous mission due to the heavy anti-aircraft defences. Coiffard shot down no fewer than 33 balloons, an exceptional feat. On 28 October 1918, he was fatally hit during a mission, but managed to land his aircraft safely. He died of his injuries shortly afterwards. His grave can be found in this necropolis, under number 1027 (but that number is incorrect, check the register).

At the foot of the church plateau, along the Rue de l’Hôtel Dieu, there is a well-preserved German shelter (abri allemand). This concrete construction was used by the German troops as an observation and command post. Its location close to the church offered protection and an overview, which was crucial in this heavily contested sector of the front.

On the slope of the Église Saint-Martin opposite 32, Rue de l'Hôtel Dieu The church of Sommepy-Tahure, Église Saint-Martin, is located on a raised plateau in the centre of the village. During the First World War, this location had strategic importance, as it offered a view over the surrounding front area in Champagne. The church was badly damaged during the war and later rebuilt, but the area around it still bears the traces of the conflict.

This national cemetery, located on a hill near Sommepy-Tahure in the Marne, is a major site of remembrance for the First World War. It was built between 1920 and 1924 and contains the remains of 2,201 French soldiers, 721 of whom are in an ossuary. The site centralizes graves from several former battlefields in the region. The necropolis is located in an area that was heavily fought over during the Battles of Champagne. In 1918, the nearby village was liberated by French and American troops, including the 2nd American Infantry Division. The cemetery symbolizes not only the French military sacrifice, but also the Franco-American collaboration during the conflict.

Vouziers is the capital of Ardennes Argonne. A quiet town to stop off to enjoy its shops. Here is the grave of the famous aviator Roland Garros, who died in combat on October 15, 1918.

The main village of Falaise is located on the top of a gaize cliff, on the eastern slope of the Aisne Valley. The top of this cliff dominates the river, which passes at about 105 m above sea level, but 50 m below. The territory of the commune is divided between the valley of the Aisne, its meadows, its few crops, and the plateau connected to the Argonne. Highlights are: Église Saint-Victor, Monument aux morts, Croix Strady.
