Amifontaine

Amifontaine (French pronunciation: [amifɔ̃tɛn]) is a commune in the department of Aisne in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France.

There is also road D89 from La Malmaison in the northeast through the village to Juvincourt-et-Damary in the southwest.

The small river Miette (also called La Source à l'Aisne in its uppermost part) rises north of the village and flows south to join the river Aisne near Berry-au-Bac.

[6] On 12 May 1940 a mission was flown from Amifontaine to destroy two bridges over the Albert Canal.

Flying Officer Garland and Sergeant Gray were both awarded posthumous Victoria Crosses for "most conspicuous bravery".
