neufmontiers

A photo of booty at the very same location in the LOC/Bain photostream. Accordingly, the caption should read "Neufmontiers." Interestingly, there's a sapling in the photo with the Turcos that has disappeared in this photo with the French soldiers. Also, there is an impressive pile of rifles in this photo (see lower left side of the frame) that wasn't there when the photo of the Turcos was taken.

Anybody know if the soldiers looking at the booty are German or French? German, I would guess.

A related Bain shot, wounded Germans in the same spot:

Thanks TLV 1970 for catching the spelling error. We'll make the correction next time we update the record. I'm not sure, artolog, if the "F" indicates French soldiers. I wish that I knew more about their uniforms. We'll look forward to more information as it comes in.

Misspelling. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/tags/chauconinn... This is related to other pictures of Chauconin-Neufmontiers.

Thanks, will submit it for correction.

I agree this is the location. The church is L'église Saint-Barthélemy, converted to a hospital by the Germans in September, 1914: www.chauconin-neufmontiers.fr/crbst_41.html fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauconin-Neufmontiers#mediaviewer/... int.rendezvousenfrance.com/en/discover/battlefields-marne
