The area is littered with great WW1 places to visit, old trenches, forts that were captured by the Germans, cemeteries of all nations, old bunkers and Stollen, as well as the unmissable Ossuary, where the bones of 135,000 French and german Soldiers lie, side by side in glass fronted vaults. Do remember to read up and research the battle of... More

This was an extremely moving experience. To walk among all of the graves of soldiers who dedicated their lives was very memorable. I will never forget it. More

Like all WW1 cemeteries they are worthy of our upmost respect. However this is quite hard to find unless you are familiar with the area. Although very well maintained I think that unless you have a connection with the 'Doughboys' serving in WW1 it will have less gravitas than the Britsh & commonwealth ones. The visitors centre is quite small... More

The American Cemetery of World War I soldiers as with all cemeteries, especially military was a very moving experience. The cemetery is not conveniently located near any major towns or highways, and with the War to End All Wars a distant memory, it is not often visited. My wife's grandfather fought with the AEF and thankfully returned home. However, many... More

I went here at the end of December and I still found it to be a great experience. I only live about an hour from the cemetery and made it an afternoon trip. Very easy to get to and yet overwhelming when you overlook all the graves. Truly and eye-widening experience. I will definitely take family here to visit when... More
