Fields of Battle - Oise
Carvings in the Carrieres de Montigny. The limestone ridge to the north of the river Aisne is notable for the number of subterranean queries - creutes - which were excavated to provide building stone for the buildings and abbeys of the region. During the war these provided shelter for the soldiers of both sides and the stone provided a suitable material for carvings and other notable reminders of the war. This ridge extends westwards beyond Noyon and the river Oise
