The construction of this monument was decided in November 1919. The memorial was completed after World War II and recently renovated.

A soldier, rifle on the ground, appears to be scanning the horizon, ready to pick up his weapons if need be, as the text below reads: "Still look."

It commemorates the victims of the First World War : soldiers, deportees, resistance fighters and prisoners.

Beausaint had to accommodate four to five thousand soldiers on August 11 and 12, 1914 . They beat several people into the well for lack of water .
