Art Deco war memorial in Sint-Gillis near Dendermonde, combined with a public fountain. The design by the Ghent engineer Jules Tytgat was approved on 26 December 1928; the bluestone execution was awarded to the contractor Louis Verhelst and the monument was unveiled on 19 July 1931. It consists of an elliptical bluestone basin, a vertical element in rendered brick and a pedestal bearing the word PAX above three glazed ceramic satyr heads. Restored in 1948, it has been a protected monument since 2002.
