Description

War memorials are witnesses to history. Erected in tribute to those who died for France, they are an integral part of the landscape. Objects of remembrance, they began to multiply in the late 1920s. Indeed, in 1919, a tribute law voted to allocate subsidies to communes to "glorify the heroes who died for the Fatherland" In Rougnat, the war memorial was inaugurated on February 13, 1921. The poilu?s sepulture surmounting the aedicula is the work of Eugène-Paul Benet (1863-1942) and was produced by Établissements Métallurgiques A. Durenne foundry in Paris. Entitled "Poilu victorieux" (Victorious Poilu), this sculpture can be found in many French communes.
