This hill in the Argonne was the scene of fierce mine warfare between French and German forces during WWI. From 1915 to 1918, both sides dug extensive tunnel networks under the hill, causing hundreds of explosions and thousands of deaths. Today, impressive craters, trenches and underground passages can be seen – a poignant reminder of life and fighting underground.

During the First World War a 'mine war' literally pulverized the hill: the mine craters on the Butte de Vauquois. A monument marks the site of the old destroyed village.

verdun1916.eu/?p=7570 The hill of Vauquois (Butte de Vauquois), about 25 kilometers northwest of Verdun, is 295 meters high and was, due to its location, an excellent vantage point for those who wanted to defend the northern Argonne, together with the hill of Les Eparges, which is about the same distance southeast of Verdun. The Germans had already captured the village of Vauquois and the hill without a fight in September 1914. The village and the hill were immediately fortified. Caves and underground passages were cut and dug in the limestone soil. The total length of the passages was no less than 15 km. With loopholes one could cover a large area, and one could count on artillery support from Cheppy and Montfaucon. It was an excellently built defense line. The French were keen to recapture this hill, partly because Verdun was threatened by it. First Battles for Vauquois
The French attacked on 28 October 1914 without artillery support, and ran straight into a barrage of bullets and shells. Within an hour the attackers were out of action. The next day there was another attack, but this time with artillery support. It was another failure on this well-defended position. Until the end of February, attacks were made repeatedly on the village and the hill, with or without artillery support. The losses were enormous, especially on the French side.
