The Nécropole Nationale de Villers-Marmery is a military cemetery in Villers-Marmery, France. This cemetery is located in the heart of the Champagne region and contains the graves of soldiers who died for France during the fighting in this region1. The cemetery was originally created to bury soldiers who died in the ambulance centre set up in the village in 1915. Although the initial intention was to make this cemetery temporary and later integrate it into the cemetery of Sept-Saulx, this plan was changed thanks to a petition by Mademoiselle Hazon de Saint-Firmin. She was very attached to the grave of a soldier buried there and managed to preserve and develop the cemetery1. In 2013, the cemetery was renovated and today there are 523 people buried in individual graves
