The World War I Meuse-Argonne American
Cemetery and Memorial is located east of the village of
Romagne-sous-Montfaucon (Meuse), France and about
twenty-six miles northwest of Verdun. Meuse-Argonne, covering one hundred and
thirty acres, holds the largest number of American Dead in
Europe, a total of 14,246. Most of those buried here gave
their lives during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of World War
I. The immense array of headstones rises in rectangular
rows upwards beyond a wide central pool to the chapel which
crowns a ridge. A beautiful bronze screen separates the
chapel foyer from the interior, which is decorated with
stained glass windows portraying American unit insignia.
Behind the altar are the flags of the Allied nations.

On either
side of the chapel are memorial loggias. One panel of the
west loggia contains a map of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
Inscribed on the remaining panels are the names of the 954
American Missing whose remains were never recovered or
identified to include those Missing during our expedition
to northern Russia during 1918-1919.
