Destroyed Villages...2

Following on from Destroyed Villages…1

Vaux-devant-Damloup









After the war a village of the same name was built nearby.










Douaumont







Each post along the narrow road bears a name of a local civilian who died.

The ossuary, memorial and the main cemetery at Douamont.
