One hundred years ago today, Fort Loncin was destroyed by a German "Big Bertha" howitzer. It was the only fort surrounding liege that did not surrender, but rather knocked out of action when one of the howitzer shells hit the fort's ammunition magazine. Most of the fort's occupants were killed.
I attended the centennial commemoration however I don't have non-phone internet access even though I paid t-mobile a bundle for it. So I will write about it tomorrow from Amsterdam where I assume the bandwidth is plentiful.
