The Mont Frenet cemetery is one of 34 national cemeteries located in the Marne. It holds the remains of soldiers who died for France during the battles that took place in the Champagne region between 1914 and 1918. Created in 1915, this cemetery initially brought together the bodies of soldiers who had died as a result of their wounds at the 3/65 ambulance centre located at Mont Frenet.

Located at the very site of the 3/65 ambulance centre, the cemetery holds 2,307 bodies including 2,282 French soldiers, 12 Britons, three Czechs and an American. Nine French soldiers from the Second World War are also buried here.
