I-pha-nho cemetery

I-pha-nho cemetery

Da Nang has a relic that has existed for nearly 160 years, marking the unjust war of the expeditionary force and the resistance of our people and people against the invaders. This relic is a testament to the history of Da Nang. That is the I-pha-nho cemetery, where 32 French and Spanish soldiers who died when invading Vietnam from 1858 to 1860 are buried. At the end of Yet Kieu Street (Son Tra District) near Tien Sa tourist area, it is not difficult to find a cemetery on a fairly flat hillside, previously called Skeleton Hill by the French. People here often call it Ma Tay area. The grave area was grassed, neat, and the stone walls were firmly built. Outside the fence are green porcelain and areca trees. The chapel has been newly painted and bright. This house is 3.5m wide, 12m long, 4m high, including one main door and two windows. On the altar according to Catholic rites, place a Spanish relief. There is a small incense pot with many thick incense sticks. There are currently 18 small tombs and 14 large tombs remaining. Among them are graves whose stone steles still have clear words to read, such as the grave of Casoon Cabandon, of the 14th company, who died on August 8, 1859; Don Juan Romani died in battle in September 1858; Labra Anton, engineer captain born in Lille 1820 died in Da Nang 1858... According to documents, when the first cannon shots of the French-Spanish coalition were fired at the defensive fortresses of the Vietnamese army in Da Nang on the morning of September 1, 1858, opening the invasion of our country, the invaders The invasion was met with fierce resistance from our army and people. Until the end of 1858, they were still unable to achieve their goal of expanding the occupied area, breaking our defense, and creating a turning point in the war. The coalition commander at that time, Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, decided to change direction to attack Gia Dinh. In early February 1859, they left only a company of soldiers and a few warships in Da Nang. The remaining troops were transferred to attack Gia Dinh. On May 8, 1859, Rigault de Genouilly sent his army back to Da Nang, launched a large-scale attack, aiming to reverse the situation and consider attacking Hue. But this plan ultimately failed. In February 1860, General Page was forced to send people to pray for peace with us to carry out the plan to delay troops. After that, the French army here was ordered to withdraw to support the Chinese battlefield. Thus, after nearly 19 months of war, the French army failed in their dark plot on this battlefield, had to wrap up and leave behind "a tower of bones containing thousands of crosses". There are no complete statistics on the enemy's losses, but the graves of the expeditionary soldiers scattered throughout the foothills of Son Tra peninsula are still there. In 1895, Governor General of Indochina Paul Doumer moved more than 40 officers' graves to a high mound and built a chapel here, surrounded by walls. Under the chapel floor is a deep dug tunnel to arrange iron boxes containing the remains of soldiers brought from different places. On the stone stele standing in front, there is also a clear inscription: "À la mémoire des Combattants Francais et Espagnols de l'Expédition Rigault de Genouilly mort en 1858, 1859, 1860, et ensevelis en ces lieux" (In memory of the French and Spanish soldiers in Rigault de Genouilly's expeditionary army died in 1858, 1859, 1860 and were buried here).
