Leaving Belgium, Entering France
Arriving at the cemetery
Within the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial in France, which covers 130.5 acres, rest the largest number of our military dead in Europe, a total of 14,246. Most of those buried here lost their lives during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of World War I.
The immense array of headstones rises in long regular rows upward beyond a wide central pool to the chapel that crowns the ridge.
