Just outside of Bastogne, Belgium, is the forest of ‘Bois Jacques’. Today the sound in these woods is composed by birdsong and pines swaying in the mist. Look closer however and you can see the faint echos of history, the scars of war.
On the edge of the forest overlooking the town of Foy, still exist the fox holes dug out of the earth by the soldiers of EZ company, 101 Airborne, U.S. Army. At one time in history this was a sort-of hell-on-earth, a front line in the “Battle of the Bulge” during the Second World War.
An estimated 175,000 human casualties were suffered during the greater campaign which lasted a little over a month.
