3 World Wars National Necropolis - La Marfée

Located in the commune of Noyers-Pont-Maugis, the ‘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. Today, this necropolis contains 1,723 bodies, including 1,202 in the ossuary and a few foreigners (British, Romanians, etc.). It adjoins a German cemetery created in 1922, which contains 14,055 graves of German soldiers from 1914-1918 and 12,788 from 1939-1945.
