In Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, this is the largest American war cemetery in Europe, where 27,000 American soldiers were buried until the 1920s, when 60 per cent of them were relocated to the US. Today there are 14,246 graves here, rising in rows towards a chapel where stained-glass windows portray American military badges. A gallery behind the chapel displays panels naming the 954 American troops whose bodies were never recovered, as well as a map detailing the events of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. www.abmc.gov
