Stenay-sur-Meuse : ウィキペディア英語版 | Stenay
Stenay is a commune in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France. It was one of the last villages to experience fighting during World War I.〔BBC; (The last soldiers to die in World War I )〕 Stenay was captured on 11 November 1918 by the American 89th Division under General William M. Wright only hours before the Armistice went into effect. The 89th lost 365 men to howitzer fire.〔Joseph E. Persico. Wright's stated reason for the attack was because "the division had been in the line a considerable period without proper bathing facilities, and since it was realized that if the enemy were permitted to stay in Stenay, our troops would be deprived of the probable bathing facilities there."
