FORT DE LONCIN - HISTORY'S TURNING POINT

Fort De Loncin was one of those key turning points in warfare, in the construction of forts and fighting positions. It is today the site of the memory of great heroics, one remembered still today every year. It is one of the artillery forts protecting the city of Liege standing in the way of the German army in 1914, and today 350 of them men are still here at their posts. Given what happened here all military's around the world took heed, and from that day in August in 1914 everything would change, some would take on the wrong lessons initially and others would learn rapidly. But everything changed in a split second. And there are a few other world firsts here and the last of one piece of brilliant machinery still in existence. cared for by a group of amazing people.
