American War Cemetery Ardennes
The American War Cemetery and Memorial in Ardennes is one of three American war cemeteries in Belgium. Two of these, including the Ardennes Cemetery in Neupré, are the final resting place for American war victims from the Second World War. 5,162 American soldiers from the Second World War have found their final resting place in this cemetery. Approximately sixty percent of the soldiers buried here served in the American Air Force during the war. 792 soldiers are buried as unknowns, because the cemetery served as a central identification point for the American Graves Registration Service. Those who could not be identified were buried here as unknowns. Among these unknowns are probably some of the 463 missing soldiers commemorated on the cemetery’s Tablets of the Missing.
If you are looking for more information and photos of the cemetery, you can also visit the cemetery’s page on the American Battle Monuments Commission website.
The cemetery is open to the public daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on 25 December and 1 January. The visiting address of the cemetery is Route du Condroz 164 in Neupré, Belgium. To contact the cemetery, click here.
