Bertrimoutier National Cemetery
Description
Adjacent to a German cemetery, the Bertrimoutier cemetery holds 933 French soldiers, 12 Russians and a Romanian who died during the fighting in the Vosges at Le Violu, Ban-de-Laveline and Spitzemberg in 1914-1918. Created in 1921, this cemetery was developed in 1924 in order to bring together the bodies exhumed from the military cemeteries at Lesseux, Provenchères and Le Violu. The commune of Bertrimoutier was awarded the 1914-1918 Croix de Guerre (War Cross).
