About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Formed in 1926, in the French military cemetery in Skopje the remains of 2,930 French soldiers were buried, of which only 930 have name. Many of the soldiers originate from the French colonial countries like Morocco and Senegal. The graves are divided into two larger plots with an alley leading to the central monument in the upper part, where there are two general tombs to the left and right.
The cemetery is enclosed by a concrete fence and entrance is from the left side near a residential building inhabited by the people who take care for the cemetery.
Commemorations at these cemeteries are usually held on July 14 - the national holiday of the Republic of France and November 11, the day when the First World War ended.
The French military cemetery is located near the US Embassy in Skopje, above the Kale Sports and Recreation Center.
