Le Grand Hebdomadaire, n°44, Sunday October 30, 1921, p. 370.:

Ardres has also just erected a war memorial, the work of the sculptor Greber.

The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: “Arise, the dead!” ".

This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile facing the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems animated.

Despite the difficulties of execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility.

Ardres was kind enough to honor, as appropriate by the erection of this beautiful monument, the memory of the 82 heroes, its children, who fell gloriously during the great war.
