Verdun Memorial

I loved every minute of this fort exploration

Another entrance into the fort

I could just be myself with Ben..

I did not look very gracious crawling

Ben insisted I get a pic with the bat

I can't remember what this was??

Looking out from the inside

Going deeper and deeper into the dark underground

If I climbed up those stairs on the inside

a burnt out fire

some beautiful stalagmites

some used bullet catridges

a bat,

if we climbed up here

In the darkness

Creeping, crawling, slipping, sliding...

The first thing I saw inside the fort

Once inside

Now me

Ben crawling thru the tiny space to

the moat around the fort

The church grounds

WW1 Victory Memorial even tho

Streets of Verdun at night

Inside the crypt

Church in Verdun

WW1

Memorials of WW1

A memorial for the Muslim soldiers

The memorial for the Jewish soldiers

Ossuary of Douaumont

Stacks and stacks of Bones

the windows and what we saw

As we walked around the musuem/ossuary

Higher ranking officers were

Graves of millions of unidentified soldiers

The fort is underground but the gunfire

little did I know that Ben

I was really disappointed but...

it was closed because of the snow

This fort was now turned into a museum

All the trenches led to one of the forts

These idiiers replaying the events of the war

Remants of trenches that

The part of the fort

The girls looked so pretty

Her passion was christmas

Lorraine

fun
