A grave for an unknown American soldier buried at the Oise-Aisne American Cemetery.
This American war cemetery from the First World War has 6012 graves (597 of which are over unknown persons) and commemorates 241 soldiers who died in the area, but whose remains have never been identified.
The soldiers here mainly lost their lives in the Second Battle of the Marne (15 July - 6 August 1918) and the American Oise-Aisne campaign (18 August - 11 November 1918). The cemetery was at first just a temporary solution, but was properly consecrated in 1921.
Confusingly enough, in French the name of the cemetery is (in translation) The American cemetery of Seringes-et-Nesles.
