Le cimetière Sénégalais

In 1916, the Courneau camp was set up on the commune, it was a training and wintering camp for the Senegalese riflemen. The deplorable climatic and sanitary conditions caused many lung infections and the death of 956 soldiers. Most of them were buried near the camp, a place called the Necropolis of the Natus. Today, a war memorial stands to remind us of these soldiers who fought for France and who were long forgotten.
