Chris Boonzaier Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 these are obviously Austrians, but the card is stamped from Verdun. Also, the guy on the very left seems German.Maybe paul can have a go at this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were deployed close, at Forts Troyon and Liouville, in September 1914. Ft. Troyon is about 20 km, as the crow flies, south of Verdun, so I could see why someone might lable the picture as such.

Paul H1 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Chris, The second picture is very interesting. That big-boy is a 15 cm K/L30. There were a few s. 15 cm K batterie's deployed at Verdun. Is there any caption on the photo? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 No, it was a trip over it and break your leg thing, a huge chunk of steel, still laying there as dangerous as on the day it was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Chris, Don't know what to tell ya. As far as anything I've read the nearest a 30,5cm Austrian gun came to Verdun was what I posted a few months ago. There definitely weren't any there during the battle in 1916. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
