The Épinal American Cemetery rests in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains in northeastern France. It contains the graves of 5,254 military dead as well as a memorial honoring 424 missing servicemen. The U.S. 7th Army established this cemetery in October 1944, as it pushed northward through France’s Rhone Valley and into Germany. Most of the men buried here fell during the fighting of 1944 – 1945, defending Allied positions in the Vosges, pushing through the Saverne Gap in annexed Alsace, or reducing the Colmar pocket. The cemetery is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
