Not medal related. But I think we should all remember those brave men who died in a battle beginning 21st February 1916.
My thoughts are with those brave souls fallen at the battle of Verdun. God bless you all!!!

Bonjour

Thank you for your kind message. My grand father was injured the 17th of March 1916 in Verdun and let dead before been discovered alive in a mass grave...

Poppies are blowing in Verdun like in Flanders.

Honneur aux braves.

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Yours
Bison
