At this location you are in the heart of the battle for Anloy.

See the peaceful landscape, take your time and go back in time to 22/08/1914

Historical interpretation:

The Battle of Anloy was a confrontation between the French and Germans on August 22, 1914.

The Battle was won by the Germans, mainly because their guns were well positioned in a clearing near Anloy. The good position allowed the Germans to easily fire on the French soldiers who were in their field of fire. The French guns, which were placed in a clearing near Jehonville, could not fire accurately because they had the forest in front of them. That day, 1,150 French soldiers were killed before 600 German soldiers.
