De Calmont War Cemetery Vannes

This military cemetery is the final resting place of 407 soldiers (396 French, 7 English, 2 Australians, 1 Russian and 1 Bulgarian), most of whom died during the First World War.

The nine Commonwealth graves belong to two aircraft crews who crashed in Morbihan during the Second World War.

Also from the Second World War is a grave in which two unknown French resistance fighters (Maquis) are buried.

In addition to the graves from both World Wars, there is a collective grave (square 30, row 1, grave 12) where eight soldiers from the 35th Artillery Regiment are buried, who died on 28 April 1901 in a fire in their barracks.
