19258 VERDUN AND RUINS We are looking nearly west across the Meuse River at the closely built, medieval quarter of the fortress city of Verdun, dominated by the bulk of the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Verdun. The ancient church, consecrated in 1147, underwent many changes through the centuries, but it had originally two transepts, giving it the figure from which is said to have originated the double cross of Lorraine, which was adopted as a divisional insignia by our 79th ("Lorraine") Division. The cathedral, as may be seen even at this distance, was considerably damaged by the German bombardments. The Bishop's Palace which appears just to the left of the Cathedral contained a spacious and handsomely decorated state banquet hall and it is grimly amusing to recall that in the early part of 1916, just before he began his tremendous attack upon Verdun, the Crown Prince of Germany announced to his staff and accompanying newspaper correspondents, including some Americans, that after he had taken the city he would entertain them at dinner in this banquet hall. Like the dinner which his imperial father proposed to give in Paris at the conclusion of the German advance in 1914, this repast still remains to be served. Some of the old houses which we can see on the steep slope of the hill below the cathedral were so completely swept away by the German shell fire coming from this side of the Meuse, several miles behind us, that the walls of parts of the ancient fortifications which surrounded Verdun in the Middle Ages and which had been made to serve as the back walls of these houses, were exposed to view after having been hidden and forgotten for centuries.
