    In memory of Muslim comrades-in-arms who fell for France

      The official name of this memorable location is 'Monument Muslim Soldiers'.
      The monument was built in memory of the 30,000 Muslim soldiers who died at Verdun in the First World War.


      On 26 June 2006, French President Chirac inaugurated this monument on the hill of Douaumont in memory of the thousands of Muslims who fell for France during the First World War.
      The monument is a circular gallery of 25 by 19 metres with an arched vault and Arabic battlements.
      Inside is a column with the text:
      'To the soldiers Muslims Died for France "
