Hello All

In major world wars whole regions and towns can be obliterated. France suffered her fair share during ww1.

Bezonvaux is a commune in the Meuse department in the Lorraine region in north-eastern France.

Since the end of the Battle of Verdun in 1916, it has been unoccupied (official population: 0) along with Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Haumont-pr?s-Samogneux, Louvemont-C?te-du-Poivre, Cumi?res-le-Mort-Homme and Fleury-devant-Douaumont.

During the war, the town was destroyed and the land was made uninhabitable to such an extent that a decision was made not to rebuild it. The site of the commune is maintained as a testimony to war and is officially designated as a "village that died for France."

Hardluck.
