The Troyon national cemetery brings together the bodies of 167 Frenchmen, including 20 in a shared grave, who fell during the battles of Les Hauts de Meuse from 1914 to 1918. Created in 1915, it was developed in 1924 in order to welcome the bodies of soldiers who had initially been buried in the military cemeteries at Troyon and Vaux-les-Palameix.
Within the walls of the fort located close to the Troyon cemetery, a small obelisk was inaugurated on 3 May 1916 in memory of the defenders of the fort. A second obelisk was erected after the Second World War.
Nearby there is a German cemetery of 5,590 German soldiers who died in the area's hospitals, between Combres and Saint-Mihiel.
