FORT DE VAUX

Fort Séré de Rivière is the symbol of the heroism of the French soldiers during the battle of 1916. Commander Raynal and his men, besieged for 7 days, fought relentlessly under a rain of shells. They were finally defeated by thirst. To discover: the command post, the infirmary, the telecommunication post, the pigeon house, the Bourges casemate with its two 75 mm cannons?
