these are probably on their way to the battle of the Marne (which runs through Champigny), some of the only fresh troops France could bring to the battle of the Marne to finally stop the German advance. Probably take in the last week of August or the first week of Sept ,1914.

Yep, my grand father talked about the battle of Verdun as something that changed his life. Omar, maybe yours was at Verdun as well, you never know; they could have been buddies in some forsaken trench, ducking from German snippers and waiting for that dreaded whistle to charge ahead only to be met with mustard gas and machine guns.
