geography

history
At the beginning of the First World War , Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia had his command post in Beuveille during the Battle of Longwy .
After their attack on Verdun , the storm battalion under command Willy Rohr moved there until 1918. The former command post has been converted into the battalion's officers' mess. The department staff , the two storm-companies , the parking company and the machine gun - train (GMT) as the flamethrowers - squad were housed here. The cannon department (KA) and the mine throwers came to Ugny . The hospital and cemetery were located in Pierrepont .
The area north of Doncourt, which was destroyed in the battle mentioned, served as a training ground . To the north of the rubble was a hill, the so-called General's Hill, from which the Doncourt Forest stretched towards the village of Cutry and the Praucourt Ferme. This area resembled the conditions around Verdun. There was a ravine in the middle of the forest.
On Saturday an exercise of the "Rohrschen Sturm- und Lehr-Bataillon" was always demonstrated in the battalion unit.
