Oise-Aisne American Cemetery and Memorial

The cemetery spans 36.5 acres and contains white marble headstones marking the graves of American soldiers who died in World War I.

Established in August 1918, this cemetery holds 6,012 American military graves from battles near Fere-en-Tardenois during the Second Battle of Marne.

The memorial building displays the names of 241 missing soldiers, while bronze rosettes mark those whose remains were later identified and recovered.

The cemetery opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year, except for December 25 and January 1, with free admission.

Poet Joyce Kilmer rests among the fallen soldiers, and until 1987, the site contained the grave of Eddie Slovik, the only American executed for desertion.
