Working on a shortish article on Lagnicourt 1917; translated a few pages of Der Weltkrieg this morning.

Most of this is derived from Lagnicourt but both are B class now. Working for a living is really cramping my writing so they're a bit scrappy and need some polish.

That photo is cool. The camera must've been set up on the ground for that shot!

Thanks, I was surprised how much Stewart added to the story.

The First Offensive Battle of Verdun (French: 1ère Bataille Offensive de Verdun)
Think I've got enough to do a passable job on this one. I've continued to add to Hill 70 but now I've unbalanced the Battle section and need to expand it to suit.

Hmmm, just passed 100,000 edits on Wiki, I should get out more.
Re: Poelcappelle 9 Oct 17
Apropos The First Offensive Battle of Verdun does anyone have sources on casualties? Horne lumps the 1st and 2nd battles together (47,000) and Holstein (Douaumont, 2010 ed) 47,000 for the October attack. Der Weltkrieg gives "over 11,000" German casualties which leads me to wonder if the 47,000 French casualties should read 4,700?
