The church dedicated to the Mother of God under the title "Notre-Dame de Lorette" rises in brilliant white and is visible from far away. But the brilliant impression is deceptive, at the latest when the visitor to the site realizes that they are in a huge military cemetery. Around 20,000 individual graves and a further 23,000 victims of war and tyranny buried in ossuaries are deeply disturbing.

Gorre British and Indian Cemetery is a cemetery in Gorre, France. It contains the graves of over 900 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery was designed by Charles Holden and is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Gorre Castle was occupied early in the war by troops serving with the British Expeditionary Force and the Indian Corps, and the burial ground, located in the south-east corner of the original castle grounds, was begun in the autumn of 1914. The Indian section of the cemetery was closed in October 1915, shortly before the Indian infantry divisions left France for redeployment to the Middle East. Many of those now buried in Plots V and VI of the British section of the cemetery were killed during the Battle of Estaires in April 1918.
