The battle of Verdun was horrific. I have been to the battlefield which still shows the effects of that fight. A Frenchman was quoted as saying; “they will never get us to do that again.”(Referring to the battle.)
Have been catching up on the opening of the war because
the 100 anniversery is coming up, then Verdun etc.
Amazing how much happened in the first two months.
Oooooo, lucky you. I would love to tour the battlefields.
Don’t have much desire to do world traveling but to be
there on the anniversery of the opening and the Battle
of the Frontiers, Loos, Le cateau and the Marne would
be most interesting.
Did you visit Ft Doamont or Vaux?
I’m envious.
