Montfaucon American Monument Dedication in 1937

The Montfaucon American Monument Dedication is one of thirteen segments featured in the America Honors Her Heroes film. The film is the Official Record of the Dedication Ceremonies in 1937 at the American World War Memorials and Cemeteries in Europe. It was taken under the auspices of the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Forgotten History: A German Bunker at Montfaucon

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch!

When one visits the Montfaucon American Memorial (to the soldiers in the Meuse-Argonne offensive), one finds the road in flanked by a pair of (mostly) surviving German bunkers. These standing artifacts of 20th-century warfare are something that we simply don't have in North America, and I find them fascinating and poignant to experience. Today's video is not a detailed history, but simply a look in and around one of these bunkers.

Montfaucan American Monument

The World War 1 Montfaucon American Monument is located seven miles south of the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial and 20 miles northwest of Verdun. It consists of a massive granite Doric column, surmounted by a statue symbolic of Liberty, which towers more than 200 feet above the war ruins of the former village. It commemorates the American victory during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive during the period September 26, 1918 to November 11, 1918, when the American First Army forced the enemy to conduct a general retreat on this front.
