Additional Details:
Inaugurated 28 June 1904 near the Haie Sainte, under the auspices of the military association "l'A Sabretache". It was here that the greatest number of French fell, and it was at this spot that the last squares of the Old Guard stoically perished and that the immortal cry rang out "The Guard dies, but never surrenders...".
