Located in the place known as "La Ferme de Navarin" on Souain-Perthes-Les-Hurlus, this national cemetery contains, in one ossuary, the bodies of almost 10,000 unidentified soldiers of all nationalities who died during the battles that took place in Champagne between 1914 and 1918. In the days following the war, donations flowed from all over France and on November 4th 1923 the first stone is laid. Less than a year later on September 28th 1924 the unveiling of the Navarin monument took place in the term of office of Field Marshal Joffre and General Gouraud. Since 1947, according to their own wishes, the corpses of the Generals Gouraud and Prételat lain among their soldiers.
