Marcel Duquenoy; Small memorial stone along the D18 between the Ferme de la Royère and the Ferme de Malval. It commemorates Marcel Duquenoy, a 20-year-old aspiring officer from Calais in the 350th Infantry Regiment, who was killed in the wood opposite the monument on 6 May 1917 during the Battle of La Malmaison. The inscription is from his parents: “En souvenir de notre fils disparu dans le bois en face” – a personal tribute in a landscape marked by collective loss.

Along the Chemin des Dames there are numerous memorial steles for individual soldiers, troops and units that fought here in 1917. You have to be aware that although today you can drive there comfortably on a highway, back then you were directly on the front line of one of the bloodiest battles of the World War.
