Dans le cimetière Notre-Dame se trouve un emplacement où ont été enterrés 545 soldats prussiens, une infirmière et 18 soldats français tombés à Versailles ou dans les environs pendant la guerre de 1870.
I am now away again, this time in Quimper. VDP continues automatically. See you soon.
I didn't know this, very interesting post and photos.
ReplyDeleteFascinating! And a reminder of how stupid human beings can be. Sorry, I'm a little frustrated tonight about the US's war ventures in the Middle East...
ReplyDeleteNoteworthy to see a tombstone written "auf Deutsch" in a French cemetery! Nice photos!
ReplyDeletevery interesting. I recently found graves of young French soldiers in my local cemetary. They were here for training during World War 2 and I think they died in a plane crash.
ReplyDeleteThe Franco-Prussian War! I had almost forgotten about that one. It is a good thing we have such graves to remind us of our history.
ReplyDeleteUne partie de l'histoire se raconte dans les cimetières...

En faite cela reste mais pas dans les mémoire des gens, tu as raison ont doit beaucoup aux soldats tué pour quoi??? le liberté il avais le droit de vivre longtemps.
ReplyDeleteOur military cemetary here has gravestones for many from different countries -- most just have their name and country and sometimes the yer of death. There is even a nurse from another country buried here. It is a surprise to find out these things sometimes.
