110 years ago, my great-grandfather sent this home.
“It’s cold. And when we are in the trenches, outside at night, it will be even worse. We leave for 8 days. On our right, at Verdun, it has been non-stop.
I’m sending you a photo 👇 it will be a memory for me after the war.

110 years ago, Émile Driant and thousands of others were killed in the opening days of Verdun.
To mark the anniversary, I’ve reworked my short film on the battle, told in 5 minutes.
If you cant name the 4 men pictured...then you need to watch!

What would be a great help is if people can like and comment on the video itself on Youtube, it helps with the discoverability of the video!

Today is the 110th anniversary of the Battle of #Verdun in 1916. I took this photo one morning at Cote 304 in 2016: Ancient Sunlight peaking through the dark forest, lighting the crumbling trenches of the Great War landscape below. #Verdun110

#OTD 110 years ago, my great-grandfather wrote ✍️
"I told you about a photo I think, but it was not successful, so we started again yesterday, one with all the non-commissioned officers, but I don't know the result yet, let's hope its good"
This is that photo, 7.2.1916 📸
Back right when looking at the photo
#OTD in 1918, La Ville-aux-Bois. French troops manning a "bomb thrower". #WW1 #HISTORY

Ever wondered what the first days in the trenches were really like?
I made a 2-minute video about my great-grandfather’s first days at the front in October 1915, using quotes from his letters and original photos from 315e Regiment
