1916 Battle of Verdun, France....



Item # 699632

September 07, 1916

EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, Sept. 7, 1916

* Battle of Verdun
* Western Front - France
* World War I - WWI
* German vs. French armies


The front page has a nice banner headline in red lettering: "GERMAN TRENCHES STORMED" with subhead. (see images) Nice for display. Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper. Rare as such.
Complete with 12 pages,  small library stamp within the masthead, a little spine wear, generally very nice.

wikipedia notes: The Battle of Verdun was fought from 21 February to 18 December 1916 on the Western Front in France. The battle was the longest of the First World War and took place on the hills north of Verdun-sur-Meuse.
