The national necropolis of Rembercourt-aux-Pots contains the graves of 5,510 Frenchmen who died in the battles of Vaux-Marie and behind the front lines of Verdun between 1914 and 1918. Four Russians are also laid to rest here. Two ossuaries contain almost 3,400 bodies.
From the Second World War, three officers of the 21st colonial infantry regiment, who died on 15 June 1940, are buried next to the soldiers from the Great War. Created in 1919, the necropolis was extended in 1922 to accommodate the remains of soldiers who were initially buried in the neighbouring municipalities of Vassincourt, Contrisson and Laimont.
A monument at the entrance to the village commemorates the soldiers of the 21st colonial infantry regiment who died in the fighting on 15 June 1940.
