Wow -- just like the Maginot line. All the enemy had to do was go around it.

Battle now pinpointed:

Cropped from original Agence Meurisse photo shown at Bibliotheque Nationale de France's Gallica site, with following caption:
"En Belgique : combats de Haelen et de Diest : barrage sur la route de Liège "
[In Belgium: Battle of Haelen and Diest: Barricade on the road to Liège]

Pub. Date 1914
