Of course I have to start the topic of the Battle of Verdun.  I am reading, eating and sleeping Verdun.  I will be posting pics, telling stories and interesting facts about this horrific battle over the next few weeks or so.

We shall start with this; a chamber inside the Ossuary at Douomont,  Inside a massive concrete structure, the bones of over 132,000 unidentified German and French dead are kept just as you see below, intermingled for eternity.

I went there in the late nineties it's a very strange place but interesting.
