German soldiers digging trenches near the Forest of Argonne, a long strip of rocky mountain and wild woodland in north-eastern France, approximately 200 km (120 mi) east of Paris, France. It later became the location of the Meuse–Argonne offensive, a major part of the final Allied offensive of World War I that stretched along the entire Western Front. It was fought from September 26, 1918 until the Armistice of November 11, 1918, a total of 47 days.
