Letter From France Tour Of Verdun Battlefield By Gladys Lynch
A daughter of jeweler J H Lynch recounts a summer trip from Paris to Verdun with Highland Park High School teachers. The party tour includes Verdun citadel, Montfaucon, and American cemeteries, with visits to shuttered villages, war ruins, and trenches. They meet a French lieutenant, view crosses on graves, and observe refugees shacks, gas evidences, and memorial rituals. The narrative blends vivid scenes of battle scarred fields with reflections on war’s lingering sorrow.
