Origin and history
The Monument to the Dead of the War 1914-1918 in Elbeuf is a memorial building erected to honour soldiers who died during the First World War. Located in Aristide-Briand Square, it was fully protected by a registration order in July 2022, including its walk and the terminals connected by chains. This monument, owned by the commune, is part of the local and national memorial heritage.
The location of the monument, specified by the code Insee 76231, places it in the Seine-Maritime department, in the Normandy region. Although architectural or artistic details are not explicitly described in available sources, its recent listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The exact address, 2 Place Aristide-Briand, confirms its anchoring in the city center of Elbeuf, a place of passage and gathering.
Monuments to the deaths of the First World War, such as Elbeuf, play a central role in the collective memory of the French communes. They symbolize the sacrifice of soldiers and serve as a gathering point for commemorative ceremonies. Their preservation, as evidenced by the inscription of 2022, reflects the desire to pass on this story to future generations.
