Nolette Chinese Cemetery

Noyelles-sur-Mer

During WWl over 140,000 Chinese were recruited in Hong Kong to help the Allies
and to take the place of men who had gone to war.
This cemetery contains 841 graves many dated 1919, just a few of the thousands who died.
It is a beautiful and peaceful place, we will remember them.

field of red poppies
shrine-like aura of petals
salute the fallen
