A graveyard for former soldiers that were dishonorably discharged and executed for crimes committed during World War II, referred to as Plot E, is nearby.
The grounds extend to 36.5 acres (14.8 ha) and this is the second of eight large permanent American World War I military cemeteries that are not in the United States.
Most of the 6,013 soldiers and support personnel honorably interred at this site died fighting during the Second Battle of the Marne and the Oise-Aisne campaign.
Like the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington, Virginia, the graves are marked: At the far end of the cemetery there is a semi-circular memorial of marble and granite in a Romanesque style.
The names of 241 American soldiers missing in the area who were never found or whose bodies were never identified are inscribed on the walls of the chapel.
[2] Plot E is separate from the main cemetery, in an area secluded by hedges and accessible only through a door in the superintendent's office.
