A picture taken in Verdun. If there was a building in this town unhit, I did not see it. There is an underground fort at this place large enough to take care of 10,000 people. From an album of Lorain H. Cunningham, who served in the 129th Field Artillery during World War I and was a friend of Harry S. Truman.

Charpentry, France. "It was near this point that the infantry was driven back thru us and we were given orders to direct our guns to the top of the ridge shown in the upper part of the picture. The infantry reported that the Germans were just behind them and we expected to see them come over the hill any moment." From an album of Lorain H. Cunningham, who served in the 129th Field Artillery during World War I and was a friend of Harry S. Truman.
