Rhone American Cemetery and Memorial, War cemetery and memorial in Draguignan, France.
The cemetery contains 861 graves organized in four plots around an oval pool, with cypress and olive trees surrounding the burial area.
The cemetery opened on August 19, 1944, following Operation Dragoon, when American forces landed in southern France during World War II.
The chapel features decorative mosaics and large sculpted figures that represent the connection between American military service and French liberation.
The cemetery welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with staff available to assist in locating specific graves and providing information.
A bronze relief map between the chapel and graves illustrates the military operations, while 294 names of missing soldiers appear on the terrace wall.
