An excellent historical museum
Trenches, barbed wire are still very much in existence
Bodies of soldiers are still being discovered years later
The trenches had small cut-outs in them, used for extra protection, or cooking, or storage
Imagine living in this for months, in the cold and rain, with a foot of water in it. Rats, too.
Some of it has been reconstructed for historical purposes, but not a whole lot
You don't go wandering off, even 85 years later
On a sunny day it all seems so tranquil; hard to imagine what really took place
German soldiers as well as French are honored here. Lots of German tourists come to visit
Peaceful scene
