I would like to ad something to this tread, our holiday home is located near Maissin in the Ardennes. of course the Ardennes are known for the battle of the bulge, but in the First World War there was als a battle of the Ardennes, known as la bataille des Frontieres in august 1914,
22 August 1914 was the bloodiest day of the whole war for the French with 27000 deaths, and 14000 Germans killed, thus the most deadly day of the First World War (41000 deaths),
Some of those are buried in maissin
I very much like this cemetery because French and German soldiers lie together on one cemetery, it’s beautiful and an ideal resting place when cycling from our home, (race-bikes) , also graves from last days of the war 11 and 12 November 1918. Worth visiting if you are nearby
Most graves are 22 August, but some ulanen died a week earlier as they were much advanced as scouting parties
