Description

Started in 1914, the construction of this monument was initially intended to pay tribute to the rich history of the city of Soissons. The tragic beginning of the 20th century decided otherwise: when it was completed in 1926, it became the monument to the dead on which a dedication is inscribed: "To immortal Soissons to its children fallen gloriously for the Fatherland". The statuary of this monument in the form of a 3-step pyramid is the work of Albert Bartholomé (1848-1928), while its bas-reliefs were made by Raoul Lamourdieu (1877-1953). On the four sides of the monument, dedications and lists of names of victims alternate with bas-reliefs on which the famous episode of the Soissons vase of 486 is represented.
