Kinesisk kirkegård i Noyelles-sur-Mer

Description

Den største kinesiske kirkegård i Frankrig. Som følge af en aftale indgået den 30. december 1916, tjenestegjorde tusindvis af kinesere, flest bønder fra det nordlige Kina, i den engelske hær. Mellem 1917 og 1919 var der omkring 12.000 i lejren. De arbejdede på opførelsen af ammunition-depoter, jernbaner og hospitaler, de ryddede slagmarkerne og begravede ligene. De blev holdt langt fra den lokale befolkning og kunne ikke bevæge sig frit. Mange af dem faldt eller døde under epidemien af spanske syge i efteråret 1918. Nogle blev i Frankrig, men de fleste vendte tilbage til Kina ved slutningen af 1919. Kirkegården har 825 hvide gravsten med ideogrammer (kinesiske tegn). info: http://eplep.free.fr/index.htm
