The 'Cross of Reconciliation' replaces the former French memorial to the victims of the first gas attack and the fallen of the 418th infantry regiment, designed by Maxime Real del Sarte (architect Robert Bourin). This memorial depicts a soldier standing in front of a cross, being hit by the gas, grabbing his throat with both hands, while two other soldiers have already been fatally wounded. This memorial was unveiled on April 28, 1929 in the presence of King Albert.
