The national necropolis of Méry-la-Bataille contains the remains of soldiers who died for France during the Battle of the Matz in June 1918. Created in 1919 and adjoining the municipal cemetery, it was redesigned in 1921 and again in 1935 so that the bodies of other soldiers exhumed from various temporary cemeteries in the Oise could be brought there. The necropolis contains 1,538 French bodies, including 1,286 in individual graves. Two ossuaries contain the remains of 254 men.
