Located 30 kilometres from Amiens and 25 kilometres from Abbeville, the Condé-Folie national cemetery holds the bodies of 3,312 French soldiers who died for France during the 1940 French Campaign. The riflemen who fought at Hangest-sur-Somme are buried here. Built in 1950, the cemetery is divided into two sections. In the south section are the metropolitan cemetery and the Muslim cemetery, containing 829 headstones, while the second section, to the north of the road, as well as graves, has an ossuary containing a thousand bodies. From 1953 to 1957, the bodies of soldiers were exhumed from several cemeteries in the area and transferred here.
