It is a bolt action rifle widely used by the French military from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. It was first adopted by the French army on March 14, 1890, and a full-length rifle variant was introduced in 1902. During World War I, the B é tier rifle was not only used by the French army, but also equipped the French Foreign Legion and French colonial forces. In 1916, in order to improve combat effectiveness, the B é tier system underwent significant improvements and the "Modify é 1916" version was launched. The main improvements included adding a handguard and expanding the magazine capacity from 3 to 5 rounds to match the capacity of the Mauser rifle used in Germany.

A commemorative building located in Serbia, built in 1924, to commemorate the Serbian people who suffered and were killed during World War I. The establishment of this memorial hall is a tribute to that dark history and a respect for the victims. In 1943, Bulgarian occupiers destroyed the memorial hall and reburied the remains at multiple locations in Surdulic. In 2009, while building a family tomb, the remains of a martyr were accidentally discovered. These remains were cleared and buried in the memorial hall, which was also restored in 2009.
