MONTSEC
German Telephone Exchange on the road to Woinville.
Follow I.C. 19 as far as Montsec (3 km.).
The village of Montsec is at the foot of the hill; it was badly damaged.
Montsec Ridge, or Hill 380, made a first-class observation-post for the Germans, as it dominates the whole district from Apremont to Flirey.
Montsec was the scene of the fiercest fighting on June 17, 1916. The French were unable to take it on account of its formidable defences. From that time no surprise-attacks took place in this district.
