Condé-sur-Aisne is a village in the Department of the Aisne, 12 kilometers east of Soissons, on the northern side of the river Aisne. The most convenient railway station is Soissons, on the Paris to Hirson line, whence there is a bus service to Conde-sur-Aisne. The communal cemetery is some 400 yards south-west of the church, in a narrow road leading from the village "Place." Near the south-western corner of the cemetery are the graves of seven airmen, two of whom belonged to the Royal Air Force and the others to the Royal Canadian Air Force. They died on the 23rd April 1944.
