Just before reaching Binarville, fifty yards to the left of the road, are two large German concrete structures, a post of commandment, and a telephone exchange (photo, p. 92).
The village of Binarville, and the adjacent hamlet of Mare-aux-Bœufs, were occupied by the Germans from 1914 to 1918, and were only recaptured in September, 1918, by the French 4th Army.
Binarville was completely destroyed.
Outside the village, leave on the left the (impassable) road from Vienne-le-Château, and keep straight on along G.C. 66.
Two kilometres further on, a few houses in ruins mark the site of Mare-aux-Bœufs. Keep to the left, leaving on the right the road from Condé-les-Autry.
Fire hundred yards beyond Mare-aux-Bœufs, on the left, there is a German post of commandment in concrete, with rooms, shelter and telephone exchange. An Iron Cross is carved on one of the doors.
