Tintigny (French pronunciation: [tɛ̃tiɲi]; Walloon: Tintnî) is a municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.
Other population centers include Ansart, Breuvanne, Han, Lahage, and Poncelle.
[3] On the same day, at Rossignol, one of the great disasters of the Battle of the Borders took place during the fighting at Rossignol: the 3rd French colonial infantry division, an elite corps made up mostly of volunteers who had already seen fire, was surrounded and annihilated by the XI and XII Infantry Divisions of the German VI Silesian Corps.
Despite their victory, the Germans, exhausted by this battle slowing them down in their advance towards Paris, attacked the population.
They deported 120 inhabitants of Rossignol and neighboring villages and shot them in Arlon on August 26, 1914, at the current Place des Fusillés, named after them in their memory.
