Tomb of Edouard Marius Ivaldi
The tomb of Edouard Marius Ivaldi from the First World War is located near Reims in Champagne , France .
On April 30, 1917, the French corporal of the 7e regiment d'infanterie Edouard Marius Ivaldi fell at the site of today's tomb in the Battle of the Aisne (1917) . His body was never found.
After the war, his father, Jean-Joseph, searched for his son's remains and found the job through his son's personal belongings. In 1919 he placed a wooden cross and his steel helmet on the spot where his son fell in the Champagne region of eastern France. The grave is the last of its kind, which marks the real place of a fallen soldier. In 1924 he put a plaque with his son's name in the chapel of the Navarin ossuary.
The wooden grave is now in a military training area ( presumed location ) and is not open to the public. As a result, it has still remained untouched over time.
