Cemetery Originally a
World War I cemetery, designed in 1922 on Boulevard Washington by French architect
Jacques Gréber, Suresnes American Cemetery now shelters the remains of U.S. dead of both World Wars. The cemetery contains the remains of 1,559 Americans who died in World War I and 24 unknown dead of World War II. Bronze tablets on the walls of the chapel record the names of 974 World War I missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.
Memorial The World War I memorial chapel was enlarged by the addition of two loggias dedicated to the dead of World Wars I and II, respectively. The expanded memorial was dedicated on September 13, 1952 with Chairman of the
American Battle Monuments Commission,
George C. Marshall, in attendance. In the rooms at the ends of the loggias are white marble figures in memory of those who lost their lives in the two wars. Inscribed on the loggia walls is a summary of the loss of life in the Armed forces of the United States in each war, together with the location of the overseas commemorative cemeteries where American war dead are buried. ==Notable burials==
