Photo by Jeff Gusky @hiddenwwi | A weapon of modern mass destruction first used in WWI, poison gas, was deployed here against the American Army at Montfaucon in September, 1918. It is one of the most controversial American WWI battle engagements because the initial assault by Americans to take this 500 foot high hill from the Germans found this American army unit unprepared for chemical warfare. The Americans were caught off guard and sustained heavy losses from poison gas, which created panic and led to unnecessary loss of life among American troops.

Today, Montfaucon is an American memorial site open to the public, maintained by the American Battle Monument Commission.
