Noteworthy Websites: Facebook Pages and Groups

 

For those readers interested, the author has established a public Facebook group called Meuse-Argonne.com.  The reality is that career, family and social commitments limit the amount of blog and website postings, and FB is a quicker way to get the word out.  Sharing information from another FB can also be done easily via the FB group while commuting.  Finally, readers seem more open to responding in a FB group than on a blog.  So, please consider joining the FB group.

A French Geography Lesson

The battlefield known as the Meuse-Argonne technically covers three (or more) Departments.  These include:  Marne (51), Meuse (55) and Ardennes (8).  There are 96 Departments in France and 5 overseas Departments, and they are numbered alphabetically.

So, perhaps the webmaster and readers should consider FB pages covering all three Departments.
