Hill 304 Memorial, Military memorial in Esnes-en-Argonne, France

The Hill 304 Memorial features a large quadrangular column with inscriptions of military units that fought during World War I battles in this location.

German forces attacked Hill 304 on March 6, 1916, during the Battle of Verdun, leading to intense fighting that resulted in 10,000 French casualties.

The memorial includes engravings that list every French military unit that defended the position, preserving their contribution to the nation's military heritage.

Visitors can access the memorial throughout the year by taking the D38 road from Esnes-en-Argonne, with parking available near the monument.

The continuous bombardment during World War I reduced the elevation of Hill 304 by seven meters from its original height.
