Côte 304-Hill 304

Hill 304 was the site of one of the bloodiest and longest lasting battles of WW1.
Like most of these battlefields, the trees were gone during the battles.  

You can see how the trees have grown back in the trenches.
The artillery fire was so fierce that the top of the hill was lowered by 4 meters- a little over 13 feet.

The latest battle fought there was between Anne and Jean-Loup-Who found this ladder?
