The monument aux morts in Corbeny is a memorial to the inhabitants of Corbeny who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. At the top of the monument you can see a "poilu" at rest. He is standing and it seems as if he is waiting and observing". Poilu is the nickname given to French soldiers from the First World War who were in the trenches. This nickname is typical of this war and was only used in rare and exceptional cases during the Second World War.
