Verdun

Verdun is a city in the Lorraine région and was the site of the Battle of Verdun in 1916 during WWI, one of the most costly battles of the War. There are many French and German cemeteries, being the French National Cemetery and Douaumont Ossuary the largest, with 13.000 crosses adorning the field. An impressive memorial among the many found on the battlefield, is the "Bayonet Trench", and nearby we found the World War I Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial.
