Origin and history

Dax's Monument to the Deaths of the War 1914-1918 is dedicated to former Dutch teachers who died during the conflict. It is located in the courtyard of the former school of Dutch teachers, at 6 Rue Sainte-Ursule. This monument, inscribed by order of February 18, 2015, is a testimony to the tribute paid to teachers in the region who lost their lives during the First World War.

The location of the monument is estimated with a priori satisfactory accuracy (note 6/10), based on available data. Its official address, registered in the Mérimée base, corresponds to the Insee 40088 code, confirming its anchoring in the commune of Dax, Department of Landes, in New Aquitaine.

The monument is protected under the Historic Monuments, specifically for its commemorative role related to the 14-18 war. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, services) or on possible characters associated with its creation or history.

The main source of this information is the Monumentum database, supplemented by internal data. The associated photo license (Blef00fr) is under Creative Commons, but no additional details about the author or context of the monument are mentioned.

This type of monument reflects the importance of local commemorations after the First World War, especially in areas such as the Landes, where teachers played a key role in the transmission of collective memory. Monuments to the dead dedicated to specific trades, such as this one, underline the desire to preserve the memory of the sacrifices made by entire professional communities.

No specific dates of construction are indicated, although the monument is clearly associated with the 20th century. Its recent listing (2015) as Historic Monument suggests a late recognition of its heritage and symbolic value.
