Erize-la-Petite

Sunday13 September 1914 : the 106th RI , along with the VI Corps, passes through the village destroyed by enemy fire during the battle: “The entrance to the village, now barely more than a hamlet, was obstructed by cars, carts, and large hay rakes pulled to the side. We silently passed by the collapsed farmhouses. Nothing was left but sections of wall and twisted chimneys which had remained upright amid the devastation wreaked on the houses.”
