Created in 1919, the Méry-la-Bataille national necropolis contains the remains of 1,538 soldiers who died for France during the Battle of Matz in June 1918. Adjacent to the municipal cemetery, it brings together the bodies exhumed from various temporary cemeteries in the Oise, of which 1,286 are buried in individual graves and 254 in two ossuaries. This memorial pays tribute to the soldiers who fell during one of the decisive offensives of the First World War, which helped halt the German advance towards Paris.
