The American Battle Monuments Commission interred the remains of an unknown WWI soldier at Oise-Aisne American Cemetery in France, one of ABMC’s eight WWI cemeteries located overseas.
The full honors military burial followed a year-long process to exhume remains and artifacts, and to identify the soldier’s nationality in order to provide a final resting place.
This was the first burial of an unknown from WWI since 1988, and the first burial at Oise-Aisne American Cemetery since it was dedicated in 1937.
