A monument erected in 1926-1927 to a signed design by the architect Pierre Devos, in memory of the dead of the Belgian Cyclist Company in the First World War, at Oordegem. It was an initiative of the former civic guards of Brussels and was solemnly inaugurated in 1926-1927. A multi-part bluestone monument with Art Deco characteristics, it consists of a central obelisk shaped like a stepped tower crowned by a sphere, flanked by two low walls bearing the French inscriptions, and decorated with a relief sword bearing the word "PAX". It has been protected as a monument since 2013.
