A new showcase

Eager to present as many objects as possible to the visitors of “la maison départementale de la mémoire militaire”, Bruno Duteil has decided to provide “les Amis de La Martinerie” with a new showcase of WW1 artefacts.

This is a collection of German cups, liqueur glasses and inkwells.

These objects were found during excavations of old German dumps, dug into the ground and located in reconditioning villages behind the front.
