It’s hard to say what struck me more…stone remenants of villages obliterated during the fighting(So much unexploded ordinance in the ground, the villages could note be rebuilt), the Osuary at Verdun…or the American Cemetery about a half our drive from there, where I found the grave site of an American soldier who died on 10 November, 1918-exactly a day before the armistice was signed.
