French President Francois Hollande (R) holds an umbrella as he walks beside German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the German military cemetery at Consenvoye, France, 29 May 2016, to commemorate victims of World War l on the 100-year anniversary of the Battle of Verdun. The Battle of Verdun, which took place between German and French troops in 1916, lasted over 300 days and saw the deaths of more than 300,000 soldiers on both sides. The town in the northeast of France became the epitome of brutal trench warfare during World War l.
