LEAVING VERDUN BY THE CHAUSSÉE GATE (see [p. 34]).
I.—From Verdun to Tavannes Fort
Leave Verdun by the Chaussée Gate, cross the Meuse and the fortified enclosure, and take the Rue d’Etain (R. N. 18) on the left. Go up the Faubourg Pavé. This road, used by the relief troops in the Vaux-Douaumont sector, was heavily and continually shelled until Verdun was finally cleared in December, 1916.
