Neuville-St Vaast German war cemetery
The Neuville-St Vaast German War Cemetery is a World War I cemetery located in Neuville-Saint-Vaast, a small village, near Arras, Pas-de-Calais, in northern France. It is the largest German cemetery in France, containing 44,833 burials.
== Appearance ==
The cemetery was established by the French in 1919 as a concentration cemetery for German war casualties from the regions north and east of Arras.〔(World War I Battlefields )〕 It is now administered by the German War Graves Commission, (''Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge'' VDK).
There is no central building, but a small chapel and gateway containing directories that lists alphabetically the names of the soldiers interred here, identifies the plot and section where they are buried and provides a map showing the location of all sections of the cemetery. Between 1975 and 1983 the VDK completely reorganized the cemetery and replace deteriorating wooden crosses with metal ones that include name, branch, date of death. Each cross lists four individual names with four soldiers buried to a grave. Old small bunker type fortifications are also found in the cemetery. There are, too, 129 headstones for Jewish soldiers who fell fighting for Imperial Germany.〔(de) (Website Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge: Neuville-St Vaast German war cemetery )〕 A memorial stone for a Hanoverian regiment was transferred to the cemetery.〔(Neuville-Saint-Vaast German Military Cemetery "La Maison Blanche". )〕
