Les Éparges: ALL QUIET on the WESTERN FRONT part VII

This will be the last episode of the
ALL QUIET on the WESTERN FRONT

les éparges:
The Éparges Ridge is located about twenty kilometers southeast of Verdun, on the edge of the Hauts-de-Meuse. It is one of the most advanced observatories on the Woëvre Plain, culminating at 350 meters.

From September 21, 1914, the Germans developed a strong organization of blockhouses and trench networks on the Eparges Ridge. The task of reconquering the area was entrusted to the 12th Infantry Division, in which the writer Maurice Genevoix served. However, the recapture remained incomplete. The general offensive resumed on March 18, 1915, and was very deadly. From mid-April onwards, mine warfare began and lasted until September 1917. These mines created spectacular craters, 18 of which are still visible today. The French lost 50,000 men, while the German losses were about the same.
