The German inscriptions in the tunnel have been taken down, and the entrance blocked up, on account of the roof and walls giving way.
ENTRANCE TO "POMMERN TUNNEL" AT WITRY-LES-REIMS
Leaving the Place Gambetta, take the Rheims-Rethel road (N. 51) on the left, then the first street on the right to the Fort of Witry.
Just outside the village the road crosses the old Roman causeway from Rheims to Trèves, and a little further on passes to the left of the Fort of Witry.
The Fort of Witry suffered but little from the bombardments.
The road climbs the northern slopes of the Berru Hill, across numerous German trenches. At the bottom of a short run-down, opposite the village of Berru, is a crossing of four ways. The road leading to the fort is the one straight ahead.
On the right, among the numerous defences, is a German cemetery containing a monument to the dead, ornamented with somewhat rudimentary carving and bearing an epitaph dedicated to the memory of the German soldiers who fell in the battles around Rheims.
The road continues up the slopes of Berru Hill, to the right of the way leading to the auxiliary battery of the fort of Vigie de Berru. The top of the hill is soon reached, on which the fort, known as the "Vigie de Berru," stands. This fort was little bombarded, and is practically intact.
