Photo by Jeff Gusky @hiddenwwi | These carvings of an old man and an elegant woman (in the background) with a bonnet have inspired curiosity since the time they were photographed in 2013. Who were they? What did they mean to the French WWI soldiers who carved them? Were they carved at the same time by the same artist? They are located near by an underground city where inscriptions by Chinese WWI soldiers can be found.

There were many men from China serving on the Western Front. Though they were mostly laborers, many died in battle on the front lines. There is a beautiful Chinese cemetery on The Somme in the northern part of the Western Front.

In addition to the Chinese contribution to the war in France, WWI was also fought in mainland China. It was truly a global war.
We are now commemorating the 100 year anniversary of WWI. The WWI Centenary runs through June 28, 2019, the date of the Versailles Treaty which ended the war.
