Went to visit a WWI Memorial in Montsec, France. It is situated on the top of a mountain that was a key observation post in the area. The offensive took place fron 12-16 September 1918. They siezed over 15,000 prisioners and controlled more than 700 square kilometers of land.
During WWII the memorial was used by the Germans as a machine gun position. During the shelling of the position the memorial was damaged. It was repaired in 1948.
