<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deacon Ray, post: 2637337, member: 81896&quot;]Well done, Magnus Maximus! I&#039;ve always been interested in WWI history. I toured the Verdun battlefield many years ago and it was an awesome experience. My grandfather was a WWI veteran and he had a (reissued) Verdun medal. He was not in the original battle but he served as a US soldier in the Argonne and St.Mihiel sectors. The French awarded them to US and Allied soldiers who served in the vicinity later in the war. Here is an image of one. This is not my grandfathers. His is in a safe deposit box in New England but this is what it looks like.</p><p><br /></p><p>My grandfather had the highest respect for the French soldiers. His unit apparently was supported and supplied by the French Army on different occasions. If ever he heard someone putting them down even jokingly he didn&#039;t hesitate to set them straight.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]581278[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
