TRENCH OF THIRST
Site with an illustration of the First World War sacrifice of Francs-Comtois, Lyonnais and Vosgiens.
Of all the tragedies of the First World War in the Meuse, the epic of the "Thirsty Trench" is the epitome of sacrifice. For the battalion of the 172nd R.I., the struggle continued for 3 days, and the high temperatures of May emptied the company's water cans. Surrounded on all sides, they ran out of water, ammunition and fighters. The French were unable to stop yet another German counter-attack on May 22, and finally abandoned their position. These soldiers will never forget "the thirsty trench".
