LURE

Several French flags, along with an American and a British flag fly from this building in Lure and the symbol of the F.F.I. can be seen in the doorway. Lure's capture by the 15th Regiment's 1st Battalion followed by the 7th Regiment's 1st Battalion, was unopposed, but the city was under perilous artillery and mortar attack throughout the day. The days leading to the capture of Lure were filled with tough engagements over a wide front for the 3rd Division, further evidence of stiffening resistance from the Germans.

location: 17 Avenue Carnot, Lure, France
