Monument des fusillés de Tavannes, War memorial in Vaux-devant-Damloup, France
The memorial stands near the Bois de la Laufée ravine, marking the location where 16 resistance fighters were executed during World War II.
In December 1944, railroad worker M. Scherrer discovered a mass grave containing the bodies of 15 French and one Belgian resistance member, all shot by the Gestapo.
The memorial includes a commemorative plaque listing the names of the resistance fighters, including two local priests who opposed the German occupation.
The monument is accessible from National Road 913a, requiring visitors to descend towards the entrance of the ravine near Fort Vaux.
Among the identified victims was François De Kinder, a Belgian resistance hero who was arrested in Paris and brought to Verdun before his execution.
