    You can see on top edge a few aeroplanes tents concealed within a garden. This was the german aerodrome of Lagnicourt. It housed Jasta 2 and 19 from september to december 1916. The village of Lagnicourt was renamed Lagnicourt-Marcel to honor Marcel Grateau a french hairdresser who lived in London, who contributed by his generousity to the reconstruction of the village. "Le village de Lagnicourt est rennommé [Lagnicourt-Marcel] en honneur de l'inventeur du fer à friser Marcel Grateau, né à Chauvigny, qui a contribué par sa générosité financière à la reconstruction du village."
