Nestling in the foothills of the Vosges, Saint-Benoît-la-Chipotte National Cemetery holds the remains of soldiers who died for France during the Battle of Mortagne (24 August to 13 September 1914). Established in 1919, it was redeveloped from 1920 to 1935 to take in the bodies of soldiers exhumed from temporary cemeteries in the region between Rambervillers and Saint-Dié. It was completely redesigned in 1975. Covering a surface area of 7,070 sqm, the cemetery holds the mortal remains of nearly 2,000 French soldiers, nearly 900 of whom are buried in two ossuaries.
