Pvt. J. E. Gibbon of the S. C. is shown on the brow of Cote 29D, located about 6 kilometers northwest of Verdun sur Meuse. The photograph was taken on March 1, 1919. It captures the outer trench work of Poste Delà Belle Epine, Fort de Vacherauville on Hill in the center, and the village of Vacherauville beyond. This view provides a comprehensive look at the fortifications of Verdun that held strong against German attacks for 4 years. The image was recorded in December 1918 by Mo. En. G. SOTER.
