Battles of Champagne: Monument of battles of Champagne, on the former site of Navarin farm. Located in the center of the Champagne front, which stretched from Reims to Argonne, and erected on the initiative of General Gouraud, the monument commemorates the battles from September 1914 to October 1918. The surrounding land still bears the scars of battles with trenches, hoses, craters, etc. The crypt houses the remains of 10,000 soldiers, most of whom are anonymous. At the summit, a group of three stone statues by sculptor Real del Sarte, which represents three soldiers in combat with, from left to right: brother of the sculptor, who was killed in Champagne, General Gouraud himself and Quentin Roosevelt, nephew of President Theodore Roosevelt, who died in France on 14 July 1918 near Cambrai.
