This monument, built in 1929 by the Marquis de Croix, owner of the land, symbolizes the suffering of all the soldiers who fought during the First World War on the Confrécourt plateau. The monument is in the shape of a broken cross, which evokes the numerous postcards showing crucifixes or Christs having miraculously survived the bombings of the war. The monument is located near a stone marker which indicates the furthest advance of German troops during their offensives in 1918. You can also see the new Confrécourt farm, which was rebuilt after the war on the site even where the French front lines were located.
