Mr Macron and Mrs Merkel attend a ceremony on Saturday at the site of the Armistice talks at the Forest of Rethondes in Compiègne, France.

At Rethondes in the Forest of Compi�gne, a few yards from the spot where the armistice was signed, the famed wagon-lit was housed in a shelter provided by Arthur Henry Fleming of Pasadena, Calif. Other Allies.

From Rethondes to Spa is a matter of some two hundred and fifty miles, by road, and nearly forty-eight hours were consumed by the courier in covering that distance; he did not reach German Headquarters until ten o'clock Sunday morning, November 10.

The next morning they were taken to Rethondes in the forest of Compi�gne.
