Bosmont-Cel? Aisne in France, on D 58 between Marle and Montcornet. Marle is not far from a motorway shared with Laon. Montcornet kept the memory of de Gaulle ordered his tanks to not bow to the pressure of the Germans swept all before them since the breakthrough at Sedan.
The village does not cover 10 km2. A little over 200 inhabitants live green (statisticians tear between 200, 203, 207 and 209 souls, they are also the things in life).

Monuments:
- "The church has the distinction among the churches of Marlois, juxtapose a brick bell tower, reminiscent of the fortified towers built in the middle of Thiérache 16th century, with very important and noteworthy elements of 12th-13th centuries (nave and choir).
The quality of the workmanship and the molding of medieval structures (headband decorated with diamond points, south door lintel saddleback ornate coving and a row of broken sticks), is reinforced by the interest of the structure of the nave, which retains significant elements of its original structure. The lobby is decorated with curious inscriptions commemorating some episodes of the Wars of Religion. "
Note: To avoid the necessity of crushing weight of a collection of dictionaries, it is clear that" the molding "fits the profile moldings.

Indeed, it is in College bearing his name I was prompted to propose the largest conferences in the adjacent department of the Ardennes. Their educational work on the Holocaust took place over several school years. And therefore offers youth one after another and all, it seems, have this common point of wanting to understand speech without anachronisms or prefabricated.
But we are far from Bosmont and its Serre ...

In the cemetery: a key to dreams (Ph. JPO / DR).
only echo unearthed in the local press: "the bones move" ...
- "The village of Bosmont-Cel between Marle and Montcornet, has only about 200 souls, but tensions are acute.
controversy last date, the land of the cemetery which served to fill under a covered bus shelters and in a field. The problem is that the latter, recovered after digging a cellar, contained several bones, human remains, say some. They do not understand how anyone could have spread these bones in an area frequented by children. For them, "there is a total disrespect for the dead. The least we would have been to the bone side, then returning them to land immediately. In addition, everyone here knows who is buried where they dug. He is a former agricultural worker. So, emotion is even stronger. "
A petition was launched yesterday morning, and letters sent to the prefecture.
The mayor, however, it was obviously no question of leaving the bones in place. "When we dug, we fell over, though no concession was reported between the two graves. It is a cemetery with a dozen centuries. Bones, there everywhere. They move underground over time. I asked the employees to spread out the earth in the yard time to dry. It was expected that then raked to remove the bones, "says Gerard Pennes, elected mayor in recent elections.
Yesterday afternoon, the "household" has, indeed, been done.
"This is the result of circulating the petition, he was afraid ... "say some." They knew we were going to remove them, "the mayor replies," It's just animosity. It gave the bones where they were unearthed. We have no ossuary. We're just an inventory of the cemetery to create one. "

Behind its walls, the castle of La Tour du Pin:
- "The discovery of the field Bosmont is an invitation to a journey that combines history and nature. The park, the garden, the castle and its outbuildings and farm, form a set whose preservation is the result of three centuries of effort and passion.
Careful Park and Garden Bosmont, reflects our desire to give today to a group classified in the Inventory of Historical Monuments, a modern plant environment. You keep the Field Bosmont of the image of a conservation area where time is celebrated by the ancient trees as in the revival of the kitchen garden entirely redesigned in 2000. "

Note that a consultation of municipal archives of these communes de l'Aisne and the Ardennes confirms how the slow payment of war reparations after 1918, has been painfully experienced by the civilian casualties. 1918-1928: ten years to face the wall ... And elected officials to move heaven and earth of the townships and counties to try not to let people in too precarious conditions.
