The 14.3 acre cemetery is located one-half mile southwest of the village of Bony (Aisne), France on a gentle slope typical of the rolling Picardy countryside.  This cemetery contains the graves of 1,844 United States military dead from World War I.  Most of these soldiers lost thier lives while serving in American units attached to the British Army or in operations near Cantigny.  The headstones are set in regular rows and seperated into four plots by paths that intersect at the flagpole near the top of the slope. The cemetery is maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission.
