    A grand, formally landscaped memorial cemetery featuring a long central grass axis leading uphill to a stone chapel or memorial building. The site is characterized by precise geometric design with symmetrical hedgerows, tree-lined allées, and rows of grave markers flanking the central lawn. A circular reflecting pool with flower plantings serves as a foreground focal point, consistent with American Battle Monuments Commission cemetery design.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
