This monument, located close to a rural road and at the 'entrance' of a tiny park with a small pond.
It remembers the fallen and missing of both the first and second world war.
The names of the fallen of the first world war are barely readable.
Some names are recurrent in the list of the fallen of the second world war, which makes one believe that they were brothers, or at least family.
One single lastname is listed on both parts of the memorial.
