Tips
Back in time through the trenches named after London.Historical context: After the recapture of the forts of Vaux and Douaumont, the French command set up the essential connections to supply the new French positions. The London Trench connected the hills of Belleville with the fort and the destroyed village.
To prevent landslides caused by bombardments, the sides of the tunnel were reinforced with a skeleton of reinforced concrete or cement slabs.translated by
