GERMAN CEMETERY
The right part of this communal cemetery was commandeered during the First World War. Created in January 1915, this military cemetery brings together 1,188 German graves and four graves of Russian prisoners. Most of the soldiers who rest here have died of injuries in nearby hospitals, particularly in the hospital of Notre-Dame de Seclin. These men also came from combat zones in the trenches between Neuves-Chapelle and La Bassée from 1915 and until the beginning of the major German attack on Amiens, Ypres and the Allied counter-attack from August to October 1918.
