The World War I cemetery is located in the commune of Moulins-sous-Thouvain, located 107 km north of Paris. Soldiers who fought for Germany are buried here. As the prefecture of the Oise department clarified, there are a total of 1,903 Jewish and Christian burials in the cemetery. The department's prosecutor's office began an investigation into the incident. The identity of the grave desecrators has not yet been established. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned such acts, noting his personal involvement in the fight against all forms of anti-Semitism. The French leader made the statement at a joint press conference with Swiss President Alain Berset , broadcast on the official account of the Elysee Palace on the social network X. Earlier , IA Regnum reported that the head of diplomacy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, at a conference of EU ambassadors called for combating manifestations of anti-Islamism and anti-Semitism in Europe. As Borrell pointed out, in France alone, more than 1 thousand anti-Semitic acts occurred in a month. In Paris on November 12, a march against anti-Semitism took place with the participation of almost all members of the government and leaders of major parties. More than 105 thousand participants gathered for the march. Similar actions took place in other cities of France. A total of 73 demonstrations were registered, and about 182 thousand people took part in them. The purpose of the march was to unite the French against the backdrop of a sharp increase in the number of acts of anti-Semitism in the country. | |

| #4 Don't know if the American Blacks were allowed in the US military to be on the front lines during WW1, Skidmark. I believe that they were only able to serve in support roles. No problem for the Brits or the French. |
