This cemetery was created in 1920 by the French State, which brought together in one place the graves of 49 military cemeteries or military squares of communal cemeteries.
It houses 6,545 remains of soldiers including 3,755 in individual graves, 126 of which are unidentified and 2,790 in two ossuaries, 116 of which are unidentified. The tombs are materialized by stone crosses.
More than 2,000 soldiers killed from the winter of 1914 to the summer of 1916 lie in this cemetery. However, the vast majority of the graves are those of soldiers who fell during the Battle of the Kaiser in the spring of 1918 and the Hundred Days Offensive led by the Allies from the summer of 1918.
Against the east wall of the cemetery, near the entrance, a commemorative plaque pays homage to Richard von Heydebreck who died on June 12, 1918. A monument erected inside the necropolis pays homage to the German and French soldiers who fell near Liancourt - Pit in 1915, about ten kilometers away. Wikipedia
