The hill at Artois was particularly coveted during the Great War since there was an excellent view from here of the entrenched armies. The French necropolis includes over 20,000 tombs of soldiers who perished between October 1914 and September 1915, during this long period of arduous armed conflict. The crypt near the basilica bears witness to the sacrifice made by unknown soldiers in other conflicts throughout the world. |
