The national necropolis of Moislains, known as the Charentais cemetery, gathers the remains of soldiers who fell for France during the fighting that took place around this village on 28 August 1914. This national cemetery, created at the end of these clashes, was built successively in 1923-1924 and in 1944. This necropolis brings together 465 bodies, including the French, 99 in individual graves and 366 in an ossuary. Since 1924, this necropolis has housed a memorial in honour of the memory of these fighters who came mainly from Angoulême and Bergerac. At the foot of this monument, an oak coffin from Puy-de-Nelle (commune of Charente) was placed in 1960. Made by Gaston Rofidal, former non-commissioned officer in the 307th Infantry Regiment (RI) during the war, this chest symbolically contains various soil samples taken from the communes of Charente. Because it suffered from the vagaries of time, it was replaced in 2014.
