    The image shows a preserved WWI-era trench system now overgrown with moss, ivy, and vegetation in a forested setting. The earthwork fortifications are clearly visible as a sunken channel cut into the ground, with stone or concrete reinforced walls partially reclaimed by nature. A structure or memorial is visible in the background through the trees, suggesting this is a preserved historical site open to visitors.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
