This is inside the memorial that pays homage to the soldiers of the Bayonet Trench who were buried alive under enemy shelling. At least that is how the story goes... The story dates back to 1919 when a French Colonel returned to where his unit fought back in 1916. He noticed rifles sticking out of the ground, some of which still had their bayonets intact. There are 9 wooden crosses here marking where the soldiers are buried.
