An memorial ossuary was erected here, on which appear the names of villages where numerous soldiers lost their lives during the fighting that took place in Conflans-en-Jarnisy, Etain, Rouvres, Buzy, Maizeray, Saint-Maurice-sous-les-Côtes...

Located in Verdun, Faubourg-Pavé National Cemetery holds the remains of soldiers who died for France during the battles in Verdun between 1914 and 1918 and of soldiers that fought in the Second World War. Established during the First World War, the cemetery was developed from 1919 to 1926 and redesigned in 1965 to receive the bodies of other soldiers who had originally been buried in cemeteries at Belrupt, the Chevert barracks and Eix-Abaucourt, or were found on the battlefield. From the First World War, over 5,000 French soldiers, a Chinese worker, an Indochinese man, a Luxembourg man and a Romanian are buried here in individual graves or in the ossuaries. From the Second World War, over 600 French, seven British, one Belgian and one Polish soldier are buried here.

In the middle of the cemetery are the graves of the seven unknown soldiers who were kept in Verdun after the ceremony held in the underground citadel in 1920 to choose the Unknown Soldier. The eighth soldier, chosen by Auguste Thin, lies ever since under the arch of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Created in 1950, the Cambronne-lès-Ribécourt national cemetery is a combined cemetery, for on that date the remains of French soldiers who had died for their country during the French campaign (May-June 1940) and during the fighting for national liberation (1944-1945) were brought together. As a result of the Second World War, there are 2,106 soldiers and resistance fighters, as well as three Poles, a Spaniard and a Romanian.

This site was developed from 1972 to 1974 in order to welcome the mortal remains of 126 soldiers from the Great War. All of the bodies - including those from the Great War - were exhumed in the Eure, Oise, Somme and Seine-Maritime departments. The layout of this site thus reflects its history, since the 1939-1945 graves are set out in a semi-circle at the entrance, whilst those from 1914-1918 are aligned at the rear of the cemetery.

Effry National Military Cemetery contains the bodies from the lazarett, the German military hospital set up on the premises of the Briffault factory. Within these walls, civilian prisoners were interned in poor sanitary conditions.  The cemetery contains the buried remains of 127 French, between 281 and 305 Russians, between 227 and 229 Belgians, 23 Romanians and one Italian. However, these figures are not definitive because the bodies were initially buried in mass graves before the cemetery was reorganised in 1927. In 2007 a brick memorial was unveiled in memory of the factory where the lazarett was located.

The industrial town of Saint-Quentin was occupied from 28 August 1914 onwards. With so much at stake, this city was bitterly contested during the fighting that took place at the end of August 1914. As it was occupied for a large part of the war, the town had to march to the beat of a different - German - drum. The town housed the headquarters of the IInd army, and was inspected on several occasions by Emperor Wilhelm II. Until 1917, Saint-Quentin progressively became a stronghold. Following the retreat on the Hindenburg Line, the town found itself on the front line, and as a result the population was evacuated to Belgium.

The ruins of Saint-Quentin were finally liberated on 2 October and the town commended by the army on 22 October 1919.
