The national war cemetery of Marissel contains the remains of soldiers who died from their wounds in the military hospitals of the town during the major offensives of the spring of 1918. Created in 1922, this site was extended in 1935 and 1952 to hold the bodies of other soldiers initially buried in temporary military cemeteries in the region. At this site, 1,081 soldiers are buried, ten of which were laid to rest in an ossuary, as well as 19 British servicemen and one Belgian soldier. Alongside these men are buried, from the Second World War, 95 French soldiers, 158 British, five Soviets, one Polish and eight unknown French civilians.
