Origin and history

The monument to the dead of the war 1914-1918 d'Yvetot is a memorial building erected in the commune of Seine-Maritime, Normandy. It is located on the square of the town hall, on the cadastral plot no.946, and was inscribed as Historic Monument by order of 29 July 2022. This monument, owned by the commune, pays tribute to the soldiers who fell during the first world conflict.

Monuments to the dead of this type, built after 1918, play a central role in the collective memory of French towns and villages. In Yvetot, as elsewhere in Normandy, these buildings symbolize mourning and gratitude to local victims. Their location on public squares, such as the city hall, reflects their importance in civic and commemorative life.

The region, marked by the destruction of war, has seen the increase in stone and bronze tributes, often financed by public subscription.
