Wenn man hier geht
empfindet man das #GrauenDesKrieges und #Demut. Ist ein sehr beklemmendes Gefühl. Ein #Monument zur #Erinnerung und gegen den #Krieg

«Surprise! The #FooFighters are coming to #Montreal on July 10 -- and no, they won't be playing at the Bell Centre.

Instead, the 90s rock staple is favouring a more intimate, nostalgic setting: the #Verdun Auditorium.

It's their first visit to the auditorium in 20 years. The Foo played there in 2003 on the One By One tour, while drummer #DaveGrohl's former band -- a little group called #Nirvana -- played there ten years before that.»

If the K/D ratios of 1:5 and 1:9 are somewhat correct, #Russia has created it's own version of #Verdun at #Bakhmut.
General #Falkenhayn thought he could bleed out the French at Verdun and therefore send it's troops into the meat grinder. Russia has done the same in Bakhmut, believing they could outmatch the western support. As it turns out, #Ukraine has only commited enough forces to hold and attrit the RAF and to build up assault forces, which makes Bakhmut a colossal mistake for the RAF.

Is it really #terrorism when those you oppressed for centuries knife a few people?

#France #colonialist

What the world needs is a repeat of #Somme, #Verdun and #Ypres - what a call a proper lawn mowing!

Un poilu à #Verdun, en mars 1916.

#Verdun #Demut

Départ de la 1ère étape du Tour de la Mirabelle 2023, de #Verdun, ma ville natale, à #PontAMousson, dans ma circonscription !

Bon courage aux 22 équipes pour cette étape de 160 km !

#DNA evidence IDs #Montreal teen Sharron Prior’s killer 48 years later

"Signed a treaty to change the world
Tensions fall and a peace is unfurled
Nothing like what had come before
It’s the deal, it’s the treaty that will end the war!"

#Nach18Jahren
Grund 23.5.23: weil @Habrok42 damals in #Verdun echt paar tolle Bilder gemacht hat, trotz Schnee.

Gives me great joy to hear China’s ambassador (in French) antagonize & ruffling #Europeans with his reckless, inflammatory #USSR quip. #Ukraine.
These dirty rats have been insulting Asians for centuries!
I’d love a repeat of #Somme & #Verdun in Western Europe.
It’s time to mow the lawn.

Je prévoyais une visite de la citadelle de #Verdun avec mes enfants mais vlatipa que c'est interdit aux moins de 8 ans. (Ma fille va en avoir 7 dans quelques mois).
Pffff. Je vais chercher autre chose dans le coin !

In November 1916, the municipal council of #Verdun ordered a medal struck to honor the defenders. The accompanying certificate read:

TO THE HIGH CHIEFS,
OFFICERS, SOLDIERS,
TO ALL,

The heroes, known and
unknown, both dead and living,
who have triumphed over the barbarians' onslaught and im-
mortalised her nam[e] throughout
the world and for ages to come,
the Town of Verdun, inviolate
and standing on her ruins, dedi-
cates this medal in token of her
gratitude.

The obverse of 37-millimeter bronze medal designed by Émile Vernier (1852-1927) to honor the defenders #Verdun depicts a defiant Marianne (symbol of the Republic) wearing a military uniform and the new army helmet, one fist clenched in defiance, the other holding a sword, poised for the offensive.

Around the rim is the watchword of the defenders, "They shall not pass."

The obverse depicts the Porte Chaussée of Verdun between palms, & the words Verdun 21 février 1916

For #TombTuesday & the anniversary of the start of the Battle of #Verdun (21 Feb. -18 Dec. 1916) during #WWI (which I'm teaching this week):

In November, the municipal council of Verdun (meeting in Paris) ordered a medal struck to honor the defenders. Each (37 mm bronze; Émile Vernier, 1852-1927) came in a leather pouch with a certificate.

This unofficial medal was eventually issued in a variety of forms & sizes for all who had fought in the Verdun sector at any point during the war.
