About the memorial: Bronze statue set in alcove above a bronze plaque. Gold painted inscription on the wall above and below with dates 1914 & 1918 to the sides. The original bronze statue of St. George was stolen in 1980s and later replaced by the current one in 2000. A semi-nude boy with sword and plough called Le Devoir (Duty). It was made in the 1880s by the French artist Adrien Etienne Gaudez in the wake of the Franco-Prussian war and thus probably intended as a memorial.
