Tercentenary Vauban Death Marked In France Exhibit
A London Sunday Observer correspondent notes the tercentenary memorial exhibition of Vauban in France.

Initially closed to the public until 1920, the models reveal Louis XIV era frontier defense planned by Louvois, with Doullens fort as a remembered site by British soldiers serving as a Canadian hospital.
