The Caserne Maginot, visitors underground and Pétain

Soldiers in dark berets with rifles on their shoulders march past an arched gateway lettered 'Caserne Maginot'; women in coats and men in hats walk through a lit, vaulted tunnel beside a narrow track, an officer among them; outdoors an elderly marshal with a white moustache, in a képi with oak leaves and a belted tunic, stands with gloved hands among men in dark suits and wing collars. The marshal resembles Philippe Pétain, the defender of Verdun and in 1934 minister of war. 1930s.
