Revigny, like Brabant-le-Roi, fell on September 6, in spite of a brilliant defence by the Fifth Corps. On September 12 it was re-occupied by the Fifteenth Corps. _In Revigny, after passing a level-crossing and continuing straight on, turn to the left, in order to reach the church shown in the photograph below._ [Illustration: CHURCH, REVIGNY] [Illustration: VIEW OF RUINS OF TOWN-HALL] The Church of Revigny is classed as an historical monument. It is a fifteenth and sixteenth century edifice, the most interesting part of which is the apse. The gargoyles on the buttresses are curious. The steeple was destroyed by the fire lighted by the Germans; the roof fell in and the interior was ravaged by the flames. [Illustration: RUINS AROUND THE CHURCH] _On returning to the street by which we entered, continue towards the centre of the town, then turn to the left into the principal street_, from which, over the ruined houses, the photo (below) of the church was taken. At No. 21, at the corner of the Rue du Four, is the bakery of which we give photographs, both of the interior and the exterior, at the foot of the page. Hundreds of houses are in this state or have completely disappeared. _We reach next the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville_; the town-hall has been completely destroyed. The fire was preceded by pillage. Numerous waggons were laden with articles deemed of interest, and sent down the line. The walls of the houses were then sprayed with paraffin from hand syringes. Packets of tablets made of compressed gunpowder, and sticks of inflammable matter thrown into the burning houses, stimulated the flames. During three days the fires which died out were thus relighted. Only the houses where the officers were staying were spared. As they declared to the rector, the Germans did this from no other motive but to spread terror, and they did it systematically.
