Marcelcave National Cemetery (est. 1916) is located near a former hospital, and is home to soldiers who died for France during the Battle of the Somme. It was developed in 1922 and 1936, at a place called Les Buttes, for bodies exhumed from temporary military cemeteries in the Somme. It houses the remains of 1,610 French soldiers including two Indochinese workers and many legionnaires from Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and Uruguay.
