I had to laugh when I was in Vietnam seeing the remains of the French effort in the Indochina War. There are French forts everywhere. Or the remains of them. Evidently after there daily offensives, they would return to these forts for their nightly defencives, and lock themselves up in them.
You can imagine what was left of these forts and there inhabitants after a night surrounded by Viet Minh armed with explosives and perhaps a captured field howitzer or two![]()
