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.
