Remains of the Railway Station<\/p>\n

This small town has two somewhat noteworthy items. At the entrance to the
\ntown is the second of two demarcation posts<\/a> (saying “Here the conqueror was
\nstopped”) that the Germans missed destroying during WWII. It’s also the
\nsite of the only successful bayonet charge of the war (the French and the
\nBelgians counterattacking the Germans at the train station<\/a>). After that,
\ntrench warfare took over and machine guns ruled. Each year this town<\/a> re-enacts the battle. For some reason each war starts off using the previous war’s weapons and tactics but then one side or the other quickly evolves.<\/p>\n
