Historical Information

Nancy suffered armed conflict during the 1914-1918 War and again during the 1939-1945 War. The town was liberated by American Infantry on September 15th 1944. During the 1939-1945 War there was a large prisoner-of-war camp, Stalag 194, near Nancy (with its headquarters in Nancy) where the prisoners were mainly soldiers of the army of undivided India taken mostly during the campaigns in North Africa.

There are now a small number of both 1914-18 and 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site.
