A peaceful and serene place to walk, look, and appreciate life and history. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to speak with guests and give tours. They will also direct you to other nearby historical sites. Over 1800 U.S. dead and more than 300 missing from World War I are honored here. A visit here is sobering but well worth the stop.

A beautiful place to visit. Well kept grounds and serene atmosphere at the American WW1 war grave cemetery. The information office has a lot of the history which was worth reading before going across the road to the graves. 6000 US servicemen are buried here having died in action in July to September 1918. 591 are in unmarked graves. “Lest we forget”

Without exception, this tour with Gilles Lagin was the best battlefield tour I have ever taken and probably the best tour overall, I just can’t remember them all. Gilles, “jeeel”, is so passionate about his research of this specific moment in history that he can’t wait to share it with anyone who will pay attention. He is so through and accurate that I believe he may be the world’s foremost authority on WWI action in this area. His tours are personalized to what is important to you. If you have family who served in WWI research as much as you can. Provide him with their names and as much information as you can including the unit they were in if possible and he will make sure you walk the same ground they did and he will describe every detail of that engagement. If you are a Marine, correspond with him ahead of time. He will make sure you see the historic, sacred spots of the battle, especially the Bulldog Fountain and the 1775 Pub where you absolutely must drink a toast with the owner to your comrades. You will understand why several Commandants of the Marine Corps, Secretaries of Defense, and every Marine General who can get here books Gilles for their tour. He is, after all, an honorary U. S. Marine! These are personalized tours with no big bus or loudspeaker commentary. It will be the most moving day you ever spend on a battlefield. Just your small group having a conversation with the most passionate, excited, informative man you have ever met.’ I could gush on and on about our day with Mr. Lagin but I will say only this. If you take a WWI tour with him you will not be disappointed, you will not miss anything important to you, and if you do, contact me. I will take it as a personal embarrassment.
