Chris Boonzaier Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Today an article, a rather dramatic one, was added about the machine Gunners in no mans land facing von Einems attackers in the last German offensive in the Champagne.

Chris Boonzaier Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I have found numerous "Ravine of Death!" references to Verdun.One map has it for the Albain Schlucht, but I have informed this is not the right one.Either way... the Albain Schlucht was "The ravine of death" for many soldiers.I would like to share a write up about a brave Pionier who risked his life in one of Verdun's ravines of death, to save a Comrade.http://www.trenchfighter.com/40047/46301.htmlThanksChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
