Work began in 1923 to consolidate all French burials in a single necropolis. The design and layout was under the direction of Mr André George. The cemetery was inaugurated on 9 June 1930.
The Mur de souvenir (wall of memory) collects together marble tablets and other commemorative items taken from battlefield and post-war memorials.
