It is the Char B1 Bis n°452 "VERDUN II" of 1st Division Cuirassée de Réserve. The VERDUN II replaced another B1 of the same name in the 37e BCC. Although belonging to the 37e BCC, it was assigned to the Command echelon of the 1. DCR. The two stars in the turret could be the trademark of the General Brueneau. The tank was in charge of the general's son, Capitaine Brueneau. The VERDUN II fought hard against the 7th Panzer Division around Avesnes and fell back but was hit in a caterpillar at Solre le Château on May 16, 1940. She was abandoned and later moved to the location on the Trois-Pavés street.
