Origin and history
The Darnétal Memorial to the Dead is dedicated to soldiers who died during the First World War (1914-1918). It is located in the municipal cemetery, on Parcel No.92, rue de la Table-de-pierre. This monument was fully listed as a Historic Monument by decree of 29 July 2022, thus recognizing its heritage and memorial value for the commune and its inhabitants.
The location of the monument is specified in the Merimée base, with an official address at 5, rue de la Table de pierre, in Darnétal (Seine-Maritime). A second approximate address, 40 Les Drapiers, is also mentioned via GPS coordinates. The accuracy of this location is considered satisfactory a priori, facilitating its access to the public. The monument belongs to the commune and is part of a broader context of commemoration of the twentieth century conflicts in Normandy.
Darnétal, located in Seine-Maritime (Department 76) and integrated into the metropolis of Rouen, is part of the Normandy region. Like many French communes, it erected this type of monument after 1918 to pay tribute to the local soldiers who died in battle. These buildings play a central role in collective memory, serving as a place for the collection and transmission of history to succeeding generations.
