Verdun (France) -- Guidebooks; Verdun, Battle of, Verdun, France, 1916
Transcriber’s Notes
A small number of obvious typos have been corrected by the addition
of a missing accent. For example, “Prefecture” and “Eglise” have been
changed to “Préfecture” and “Église”, respectively. Except for this,
the spelling and punctuation of the book have not been changed.
Underscores are used for italic markup; the three words that end this
sentence _are in italics_.
Equals signs are used for bold-face markup; the three words that end
this sentence =are in bold face=.
The symbols ^{} are used to represent a superscript; for example "3
squared" would be printed as "3^{2}".
The table of contents is at the end of the main text.
Near the beginning of the chapter entitled “THE WAR OF 1914–18” there
is a reference to
“=The Battle of the Marne=,” part III., “_The Revigny Pass_”.
