In particular, unless otherwise stated, the copyright for the illustrations and photographs on the website is held by Verdun Memorial, or in a few cases by other institutions or persons (indicated in the caption by the statement “Photo: author’s name, date”) from which the Memorial has obtained usage rights.

However, the following are permitted as a matter of principle without express permission: quotations, so long as the moral rights of the author are respected by giving their name and mentioning the source: Verdun Memorial. Quotations must be short, in relation to both the publication from which they are taken and that into which they are inserted. A quotation is used to illustrate an idea and should not compete with the publication from which it is taken.
