From Sivry-la-Perche continue along the road, which passes first on the left of =Sartelles Fort= and then to the left of =Chaume Fort=. These two forts only played a minor role in the battle of Verdun, and suffered but slightly from the bombardments. In front of Chaume Fort there was an observation post for heavy artillery, whence there is a splendid view of the Meuse Valley.
_From Chaume Fort the road is rather steep and in bad condition. Going down on the left and flanking a hill is_ Glorieux Cemetery, near the evacuation hospital.
_Verdun is entered by the Porte-de-France._
