    No, thats the Franco-Prussian War, see the Pickelhaubes?


    EDIT: NVM, Soter got it- Gravelotte.

    Le cimetière de Saint-Privat, Alphonse de Neuville

    it looks from that timeframe though
    Yup that's it the battle of Gravelotte, specifically the fighting in Saint Privat on the right flank of the French force and yes it's the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871 (less than a year). Notice the cool Pickelhaube hats

    +rep and your turn Attalus
