This national necropolis contains the remains of French soldiers who died during fighting in the region in 1918. The cemetery was created between 1921 and 1934 to bring together the bodies of soldiers exhumed from isolated tombs and temporary cemeteries in villages in the Marne valley such as Rueil, Binson and Méry. Today, it contains nearly 2,671 bodies, including 562 soldiers in two ossuaries. Many of these combatants were colonial infantrymen, notably Ivorians, Guineans, Malians and Senegalese from the 54th, 67th, 68th and 77th Senegalese infantrymen battalions (BTS).
