Verdun
#5

Thanks, I had actually tried the link in the past and had no joy. I'd love to see Verdun and other WW I & II sites but I have no idea when I would have the chance. I need to get to Europe at some time because Moose says he owes me a beer. The MEUs that go to the Med. usually make a pilgrimage to Belleau Wood but I don't think I'll be on a MEU any time soon.

Was the image of the crosses from the Bayonet Trench? I read about that a long time ago.

 

PS. If you've never heard of it, "No Joy" is used in the Marine Corps primarily by pilots when they can't see a target that they are supposed to attack. By extension, it has come to mean anything you tried to do unsuccessfully.
