Mid Shot, German gravestone. Jewish graves at Fricourt German Military Cemetery.The German military cemetery is the resting place for 17,027 German First World War soldiers. They died on the Somme battlefields over the four years of the Great War, from late September 1914, when the German Second Army established a defensive front line in this sector, to the spring and summer Battles of the Somme in 1918.
