Thiescourt National Military Cemetery holds the remains of soldiers who died during the various battles in Oise between 1914 and 1918. Created when the fighting stopped in 1918, this cemetery was expanded in 1920 and 1921 to take the bodies of other soldiers exhumed from isolated graves or various temporary cemeteries in the Oise department. It contains the bodies of 1,258 French soldiers, 711 of which are laid to rest in individual graves. Two ossuaries hold the mortal remains of 547 unknown soldiers.
Among the soldiers buried here is a soldier who died for France in 1939-1945.
Next to this cemetery is a German cemetery created in 1920, containing the remains of 1,095 German soldiers, 388 of them in two ossuaries. Buried with these soldiers are four British soldiers, two of them officers from the Royal Air Force (RAF), and two French soldiers.
