A little further on, an 11-metre-high granite cross faces east at the request of the German authorities.La Marfée’ National Cemetery contains the remains of soldiers who died for France during the Battle of the Ardennes in August 1914 and the final offensive movement towards the Meuse in 1918. Created in the aftermath of the fighting, the cemetery was redeveloped in 1920, and later brought together the remains of other soldiers buried in the Sedan sector.
