Location Information

Dannemarie is a small town in the Haut-Rhin region of France. Dannemarie French National Cemetery is adjacent to the local cemetery on the D14B7.

Historical Information 

La Nécropole Nationale de Dannemarie contains the bodies of soldiers who died for France during the Battle of the Frontiers in Haute-Alsace in the summer of 1914, or who dies from their wounds in the ambulances of Dannemarie.

Established inside the communal cemetery, this war cemetery was expanded from 1922 to 1924, to bring together the bodies exhumed from temporary military cemeteries such as Gildwiller or Moosch. Nearly 400 soldiers are buried there, 250 in individual graves and 139 divided among two ossuaries. Alongside them is a French soldier who died for France during World War II.  Among these soldiers are buried Commander Antoine Gillot, one of the first French soldiers to die at the beginning of the Second World War on 8 November 1939, and who was buried in the same grave as his brother, Captain Pierre Gillot, who died in 1917. At the entrance to the war cemetery stands a monument to commemorate the dead.

Total French Burials: 390.
