Cool Forgotten Weapons merch!
Jean-Paul de Vries runs a very interesting private World War One museum in the village of Romagne-sous-Montfaucon in the Meuse region of northeastern France. It is the exact opposite of typical modern museums, as it has a massive number of artifacts on display with almost no printed explanation. It is also unusual in displaying almost exclusively recovered artifacts of the war, the majority of them have been left on the fields or buried for decades. You will not find new specimens here; you will find remnants of war and weather.
That may sound dreary to some, but to me it is a very interesting way to approach the war and its history. You know that every item in this museum was actually used on the field of battle, and that can provide some interesting insights. For example, the American .30-06 Chauchat automatic rifles here indicate, contrary to most printed sources, that those guns were actually used in combat actions by American soldiers and not just for training. Tired of museums that have great open rooms with a single item on a glass case in the center? Then this is one place you will really appreciate!
The museum is an entirely private operation, and includes a small restaurant for sandwiches and such, and a shop offering books, reproduction items, and original artifacts for sale. If it located near the huge American Meuse-Argonne Cemetery, and I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the area with an interest in the Great War.

Romagne 14-18 visit May 9, 2019
We were blessed to have local historian Dominique Lacorde spend his day with us exploring the WW1 battlefields around Romagne. His family has been in Romagne since 1636. During the Great War his grandmother’s village experienced occupation by the Germans. Jean-paul de Vries, owner of the museum Romagne 14-18, tells the story of an ivory button for the top of a walking-stick. The button was kept in a family safe that was robbed by the Germans during the war. Decades later Jean-paul found the piece of art near an old Roman fortress and it now resides in his museum.

I continue with the only other map available to Tier 1 tanks to represent the fighting at the Butte of Montfaucon. I hope you enjoyed watching the educommentary and that it helps inspire curiosity for The Great War. If it did, please don't waste it. Instead, look into what you're curious about. I've never regretted doing so, and I hope you won't.
