Description
Built at the crossroads of the municipalities of Sambreville, Fosses-la-Ville and Aiseau-Presles, the Belle Motte necropolis is located close to the spot where the bloody conflicts took place on 22 August 1914. Owing to its importance, this place, which holds the graves of 4,057 soldiers (from Bordeaux, Brittany, Normandy and North Africa) is one of the largest French First World War cemetries to be found on Belgian soil.
