Jumièges Mémorial de Guerre
The memorial to the war dead of Jumièges is located at the junction of Rue Guillaume le Conquérant and Rue Mainberte, outside the church of St. Valentin. It remembers the local combatant and civilian casualties from both world wars.
Jumièges War Memorial
Surmounted on a tier of substantial plinths, the tall, decorative, rectangular monument is topped with a triangular piece of stone with the dates 1914 – 1918 carved in positive relief.
Beneath this, a life-size statue of a French first world war soldier stands under an ornate archway carved into the front face of the memorial. The soldier holds a flag and a branch of laurel leaves to his chest with his left hand and his upturned rifle with his right. As he looks skyward in an act of remembrance, a metal ribbon, attached to the cloth of the flag states:-
La Commune de JUMIÈGES a ses Enfants Morts pour la FRANCE.
And, carved into the stone work beneath the soldier, the following words tell everyone to remember:
SOUVIENS TOI!
