I'm pretty sure my great grandfather August (KIA 3 Oct. 1918) is buried in a military cemetery somewhere in the red zone south of Cambrai.

August, I don't believe there is a WWI US Military Cemetery there. I searched and found none. This is the link listing them.... http://france.usembassy.gov/americancemeteries.html
