Ex-Buck Private Returns to Romagne Shrine
An American caretaker in Romagne records visitors to the Argonne graveyard where 14 000 Allied soldiers lie. French widows and mourning families honor the dead yearly, with names and numbers marking losses from Exermont to Dun-sur-Meuse. The narrative sketches Caf Central Verdun, Crown Prince tales, and monuments that bind France and American veterans across the war’s memory.
