Military Cemetery Wisches

Cemetery 1914-1918.

Special graves marked by sword hilts. Clear distinction between officers who were buried separately and soldiers who were buried in a collective grave.

In 1915, this was regulated by law that soldiers also had the right to a separate grave. The casualties resulted from the battles in the Bruche Valley, August 14-21, 1914
