Within Ossuary on Verdun Battlefield Alsace/Lorraine picture - Scene inside windows running the length of the Ossuary. The bones are a small part of about 130,000 unidentified bodies entombed here. In 1960-61 when I first visited here the bones filled the window but the passage of time has taken a toll. Only the memory of the battle lasts.
