Bearing witness to the violence of the fighting that happened in the region, the Maison bleue war cemetery in Cormicy contains, from the First World War, the bodies of 14,431 French soldiers and two British servicemen. Eight French soldiers and two Brits killed during the Second World War are also buried in this war cemetery. This cemetery was rearranged later to hold the bodies of soldiers exhumed from isolated graves or the various temporary cemeteries in the Vesle valley and the national war cemetery of Hermonville. The remains of 6,945 soldiers were placed in two ossuaries.
