GERMAN CEMETERY
This cemetery is in Mouton Wood, between Chaillon and St. Mihiel, on the left of the road when going towards St. Mihiel. One of the monuments represents a lion on a pedestal.
After Chaillon the road turns to the right and continues to follow the valley as far as the crossing of I.C. 62. It there climbs to the plateau, leaving the valley, which continues to the right in the direction of Spada. This valley is the only one which crosses the Heights of the Meuse in their entire width, uniting the Plain of Woëvre with the river. It is the “Spada Pass,” of immense strategical importance.
At the top of the slope the wood is entered just beyond a military cemetery, 200 yards to the left of the road. Cross Mouton Wood, dotted with German graves, shelters, cantonments, etc.
Leaving the Varvinay road on the left, a 100 yards further on the tourist comes to a German cemetery by the roadside, with several monuments, one of which represents a lion on a large pedestal.
Follow the road as far as St. Mihiel.
