On May 21, 1920, the city council decided to erect "a monument to pay homage to the dead of the Great War". However its realization does not intervene until after 1923. On July 20, 1921 it is decided that its erection will take place on the public highway, at a later designated place, on September 19 of the same year, in front of the school, on a site. offered by Mr. Tellier, director of the small cycle and automobile factory. However, it was not until July 8, 1923 that the council authorized treatment by mutual agreement with the marble sculptor of Hirson Arthur Leleux for the delivery of a commemorative monument in accordance with the estimate of 7100 francs. This one does not have a signature, if the blue stone base was made by Leleux, the cast iron statue of the hairy is the model marketed by Jacomet and manufactured by Maison Camus in Toulouse.

The base of the monument is carved to give it the appearance of superimposed and accumulated rocks. The commemorative plaque is decorated with the Croix de Guerre and a palm tree. The statue represents the Hairy helmeted holding his weapon in front of him at rest, his two hands resting on the bayonet.
