Thank you for the comment and the information dealing with Bazeilles, very useful.

Incredible useful. I visited Mars last Tour in November 2024. Most of the German monuments are still there, untended. Very few French monuments. I guess that by the time France reclaimed Alsace-Lorraine they had more pressing issues than commemorating a lost war 50 years ago earlier.
Here is my short article on exploring the battlefield at Bazeilles, part of the Sedan campaign.
