Trois Verges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barbara Tuchman, in "The Guns of August",( Dell Publishing Company, 1962, page 102 ), shares, "With their relentless talent for the tactless, the Germans chose to violate Luxembourg at a place whose native and official name was Trois Verges,( Three Virgins )."
The date was August 1, 1914 and the neutral state of Luxembourg had been entered by the advance unit of a million men, Lieutenant Feldmann's company of the 69th Infantry Regiment. World War I had begun.
