Holland & Bastogne 1944–45
Easy Company foxholes, Bois Jacques
Battlefield
The story
The preserved foxholes on both sides of the road, looking down on Foy. Shallower now, but unmistakable; numbered markers and an app-guided walk since 2022 (paid entry).
What to look for
Stand in a hole facing Foy. The tree line behind you is where the tree bursts came from.
