Croix des Carmes, Memorial in Montauville, France.
The Croix des Carmes features a stone monument with a large cross supported by two soldier statues wearing different military uniforms from World War I.
The original wooden cross stood in German territory until June 1915, when French forces captured it and moved it to preserve its integrity.
Each September, a ceremony called 'gerbe de blé' takes place at the memorial to honor the soldiers of the 356th Infantry Regiment.
The memorial contains information plaques detailing military divisions involved in the Bois-le-Prêtre battles and serves as a geodetic point for IGN.
The monument incorporates portraits of Colonel Florentin and General Georges Riberpray, commanders who led operations between 1915 and 1917.
