    Point X marks the eastern end of the Crête des Éparges, where fierce fighting took place between French and German troops in April 1915. It was captured by the 8th Infantry Regiment after heavy mine warfare and trench warfare. Today, a monument stands here in memory of the thousands of soldiers who fought and died here. The area is still marked by craters and trenches.
