BELLE-MOTTE FRENCH NATIONAL CEMETERY
​​​
Hainaut

​Belgium


Location Information

Erected at the intersection of Sambreville, Pit-la-Ville and Aiseau-Presles, the Belle-Motte French National cemetery is not far from where the deadly fighting unfolded to August 22, 1914, a few steps from the farm Belle-Motte.
