The cemetery at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon spreads across 53 hectares with 14,246 marble crosses and stars of David in long, precise rows. A central memorial chapel, in restrained American classical style, houses the names of a further 954 missing.
The setting is calm and well-tended; the American Battle Monuments Commission staff are on hand to help locate specific graves. Combined with the Montfaucon Monument a few kilometres south, it makes a substantial half day. About 45 minutes from Verdun by road.
