SteveMarsdin Posted 14 March , 2012 Share Posted 14 March , 2012 Good evening All, The remains of two poilus have been found at Massiges during work on the preserved trench system there: http://www.lunion.presse.fr/article/marne/les-corps-de-deux-poilus-mis-au-jour Thought to be soldiers of the Colonial Corps, who were involved in intense fighting there late 1914-1915.

Martin Bennitt Posted 14 March , 2012 Share Posted 14 March , 2012 Thanks for the info Steve. Qu'ils reposent en paix. Not familiar with Massiges, I did some googling and came up with this but also this: some American reality tv show where idiots do things to win a lot of money, including "re-enacting a World War I battle" at Massiges. Yuk. Those poilus must have been turning in their graves cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyne Posted 20 March , 2012 Share Posted 20 March , 2012 I agree with Martin ... using a historical ground for this nonsense is just disrespectful! Reposez en paix, valeureux soldats morts pour la France! Marilyne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
