The Battlefields Of Verdun

VERDUN, FRANCE - AUGUST 27: Retired forest services worker Daniel Gadois walks past German 77mm and 105mm artillery shells that date from World War I and were never fired that he collected and marked in orange paint for later disposal in Bois Azoule forest on August 27, 2014 near Verdun, France. This section of Bois Azoule contains the remains of French trenches and a German artillery battery from the Battle of Verdun virtually untouched since the end of the war in 1918. The 10-month battle in 1916, among the most horrific on the entire Western Front, resulted in a combined casualty count of between 714,231 and 976,000 for both sides. The two armies fired an estimated 65 million artillery shells at one another, of which millions never exploded and are still strewn througout the region. France will commemorate the centenary of the battle in 2016 with events including the inauguration of a redesigned national memorial. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
