War memorial of 1932 honouring the victims of both world wars, made of limestone and signed by the Marichal brothers, marble masons at Blaton. In the Art Deco style, it takes the form of a triptych centred on an obelisk topped by a winged Victory signed by the sculptor Marichal. It includes two commemorative slabs bearing cartouches with the symbols of the miner and the farmer, framed by two fire pots on pilasters decorated with roses typical of Art Deco.
