12.5.16 In the reserve trenches and its not great, as we don't have any shelters & the shells come nonstop. For the moment, everything is fine, we have no injuries, we are holed up in our holes, but as we hear the shells whistling over we ask ourselves if the next one is for us?

What was it like for a regiment on the 'deadliest day' in French military history? Not Verdun. Not 22nd August 14. But 25th September 1915, where over 21,000+ French died in a few hours. One regiment — the 315e RI — suffered the 4th highest losses. This is their story 🧵 ↓

110 years ago, my great-grandfather sent this home. “It’s cold. And when we are in the trenches, outside at night, it will be even worse. We leave for 8 days. On our right, at Verdun, it has been non-stop. I’m sending you a photo 👇 it will be a memory for me after the war. #WW1 #OnThisDay
