The Origny-Sainte-Benoîte National Cemetery was established by the German army which, following the Battle of Guise (28-29 August 1914) buried the remains of French soldiers in a collective grave. Today, an ossuary in the cemetery holds the bodies of 87 French soldiers from the 6th and 119th Infantry Regiments, whose names are inscribed on a commemorative monument.
Nearby is a German cemetery containing the graves of 3,941 soldiers killed in the battle for Mont d’Origny in October 1918.
