The national war cemetery of Fontaine-Routhon contains the graves of 1,067 French soldiers and one Russian, who died in the fighting that took place there, all throughout the Great War, in the Verdun sector. Created in 1916 during the Battle of Verdun, it was established between 1917 and 1919 to gather together the remains of soldiers initially buried in the temporary military cemeteries of Souhesmes and Nixéville.
