|| The Alsace-Lorraine Memorial, France||



1). The Alsace-Lorraine Memorial in Picardie, France.
2). The inscription on the memorial reads: "To the heroic soldiers of France / Defenders of the Fatherland and of Justice / Glorious liberators of Alsace-Lorraine".
3). I cannot be sure whether this is the original Alsace-Lorraine memorial, or the post-war reproduction.
4). You can read a nicely summarized history of the site and monuments here.
