Members of German World War One historical association sit on the remains of a French 155mm long-range cannon at the wiped-out village of Bezonvaux, near Verdun, eastern France, March 29, 2014. Members of French and German historical associations, who gather annually, together visited the battlefield of Verdun in France, the site of a bloody World War One battle that dragged on for around 10 months in 1916, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and destroying many villages. Wearing historical uniforms, they attended a ceremony in the village of Bezonvaux, which was wiped out in the fighting, and took part in a 15-km (9-mile) walk through the forest of Verdun. The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War (WWI). Picture taken March 29, 2014. REUTERS/Charles Platiau (FRANCE - Tags: MILITARY ANNIVERSARY SOCIETY CONFLICT)
