Cemetery History

At 40 1/2 acres in extent, St. Mihiel American Cemetery sits almost at the center of the salient where the majority of its war dead gave their lives.

The cemetery was first established as a temporary cemetery by the American Graves Registration Service following the offensive in 1918. After the war, the other temporary cemeteries in the area were discontinued and the military dead of the region whose next-of-kin requested burial overseas were moved to St. Mihiel American Cemetery for permanent interment.

It is the third largest of eight permanent WWI American military cemetery memorials in Europe. Post-war administration of the cemetery was passed to American Battle Monuments Commission in 1934. The Commission went on to establish the landscaped grounds, the chapel memorial, and other permanent buildings.
