Description

Dommiers and Saint-Pierre-Aigle were at the heart of the final battles of the Aisne. Between late May and mid-June 1918, to save the Retz forest, the first Renault FT-17 tanks received their baptism of fire, helping to halt the enemy advance. On July 18, near Villers-Cotterêts, 350 Schneider and St Chamond tanks, supported by the 2nd American division, broke through the front from Cutry to Saint Pierre Aigle.
This marked the beginning of the German retreat.

Free admission.
