    This is a souvenir collector spoon - 6 1/8" long / crown handle / non-silver
    Topic: Verdun (France) - Crowned Coat of Arms - Circa 1950's
    Maker mark: none - (silver-plated) / "Verdun" engraved in spoon bowl
    ** Verdun is a small city in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France. Verdun was the site of a major battle of the First World War. One of the costliest battles of the war, Verdun exemplified the policy of a "war of attrition" pursued by both sides, which led to an enormous loss of life. There are many French and German cemeteries throughout the battlefield. The largest is the French National Cemetery and Douaumont ossuary, near Fort Douaumont. Thirteen thousand crosses adorn the field in front of the ossuary, which holds roughly 130,000 unidentified remains brought in from the battlefield. The World War I Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial is located nearby at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon to the northwest of Verdun. It is the final resting place for 14,246 American military dead, most of whom died in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.
