About this cemetery
Rancourt National Cemetery is a French military necropolis created after the First World War in the east of the Somme department, beside the D917 road between Péronne and Bapaume. It holds the graves of more than 8,500 French soldiers. It is unusual in being built on the territory of two communes: Rancourt for the northern part and Bouchavesnes-Bergen for the rest. It is regarded as one of the major places of military remembrance of the Battle of the Somme, and it stands beside a German and a British military cemetery and a chapel managed by the Souvenir Français.
