Thank-you for posting. I always enjoy you museum posts.

Have you been to Verdun? I think you would find it fascinating.

Definitely a movie worth forgetting.

Just went over the battle in my World War I class yesterday.
Such a sad event.

Very, very grim.  The movie well portrayed the horror of close range fighting.
