Trip to Chateau Thierry in 1915 War Tour
In September 1915 a small party travels from Paris toward Chateau Thierry near the Marne front. They observe Meaux and La Ferté, visit trenches, shell holes, and German artifacts, meet American troops, share meals with hospital crews, and tour fortifications including the Bois de Chatelet and a base for the Big Bertha gun. The piece ends with reflections on French resilience and American aid.
