World War II Resistance Memorial (1946)

 

Roger Robert was the mayor of Landrecies from 1945 to 1947, but he had also been the leader of the Resistance movement in the Avesnois region during the war. This little monument was built on his initiative. It pays tribute to all of the local Resistance members who were killed here or in concentration camps. Ce modeste monument, élevé sur son initiative, est dédié à la mémoire des résistants tombés dans le secteur de Landrecies ou morts en déportation. 28 names have been written on it, including those of the Godarts.
