Vermandovillers German Military Cemetery, German war cemetery in Vermandovillers, France
The military cemetery contains 22,665 German soldiers' graves arranged in individual plots and mass burial sections across the landscape.
French authorities established this burial ground in 1920 to inter German military casualties from battles south of the Somme during World War I.
The cemetery features different grave markers, with stone tablets inscribed in Hebrew text for the 32 Jewish soldiers instead of traditional crosses.
The German War Graves Commission maintains the grounds and provides information about the soldiers through metal nameplates on crosses and walls.
Two German expressionist writers, Reinhard Johannes Sorge and Alfred Lichtenstein, rest among the fallen soldiers in this cemetery.
