[Illustration: ROMAGNE. GERMAN GRAVEYARD (700 GRAVES) NEAR VILLAGE CEMETERY] _Before entering_ Romagne, _on the right, there is_ a large German cemetery and some American graves. Most of the houses in Romagne were destroyed. _Near the church_ (in ruins), _take on the left the Cunel road and cross the bridge. 300 yards from the village_ there suddenly comes into view on the side of the hill =a very large American cemetery containing some 28,000 graves= (_photo, pp. 14 and 15_). _Return by the same road to Romagne Church, and take the Sommerance road_ (_photo, p. 44_) _on the left_. [Illustration: SOMMERANCE. RUINED CORNER OF VILLAGE AT JUNCTION OF THE ROMAGNE AND FLÉVILLE ROADS] _Pass the other side of the German cemetery_ (_photo above_), _then go through_ =Romagne Wood=, in which are numerous German dug-outs and gun-emplacements. _Next cross a large plateau_ (Hill 247); _7 km. 400 beyond Romagne_, =Sommerance= (damaged houses) _is reached_ (_photo below_). _In the village,_ [Illustration: AMERICAN MONUMENT (1ST DIV., OCT. 11, 1918) _On I.C. 4, 1 km. from Sommerance village._] _beyond the public washing place near the church, take the street_ (_I.C. 4_) _which ascends on the right. 1 km. beyond Sommerance, on the right of I.C. 4_, there is another American monument (1st Division, October 11, 1918) (_photo above_). _3 km. 200 beyond Sommerance_, =Landres= village (severely damaged) is reached. During the American offensive of October 14, 1918, the approach to Landres was fiercely contested. The American 5th Corps reached the outskirts of the village on October 14, but it was only on the 18th, after three days’ heavy fighting, that Landres was taken. The church was partially destroyed. _Turn to the right beyond the church and then to the left. After crossing the stream, turn to the right again, and 100 yards further on, to the left._ _One kilometer beyond the village, at the fork in the road, take I.C. 15 on the left across a plateau, and through the_ pretty little village of =Landreville= _in the Valley of the Agron. At the entrance to this village, on the left, there is_ an interesting château with turrets, one of which was destroyed (_photo, p. 47_), =Bayonville=, _5 km. beyond Landres, is next reached_. [Illustration: LANDRES. I.C. 4. RUINS OF CHURCH ON THE RIGHT] Several houses in Bayonville were destroyed, the village having been frequently bombed by the Allied airmen during the Franco-American offensive of September-October, 1918. The badly damaged church dates from the 16th century, but has been frequently restored. [Illustration: LANDREVILLE. THE OLD CHÂTEAU, WITH DESTROYED TURRET]
