Origin and history
The German cemetery of Maison-Blanche is a historic monument located in Neuville-Saint-Vaast, in the department of Pas-de-Calais (Hauts-de-France). It is located precisely on departmental road No. 937, on parcel 122 of the ZI section of the cadastre. This site was fully registered by order of 28 March 2017, thus recognizing its heritage and memorial importance.
The monument is part of a historical context marked by the conflicts of the First World War, during which the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region was a major theatre of confrontation. Military cemeteries, such as the White House cemeteries, play an essential role in preserving collective memory, paying tribute to fallen soldiers. Their presence also reflects the lasting impact of war on local landscapes and communities, where they become symbols of mourning and reconciliation.
Practical information indicates that the cemetery is accessible to the public, although details on the modalities of visits are not specified in available sources. Its exact address, 2 Route de Béthune or Route départementale n° 937, makes it easy to locate it in the commune of Neuville-Saint-Vaast, attached to the arrondissement of Arras. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as very inadequate in the data consulted, which could suggest future adjustments for more accurate identification.
