'The Ghosts', War memorial sculpture in Oulchy-le-Château, France.

The Ghosts is the sculpted group at the top of the national monument of the Second Battle of the Marne, on the butte de Chalmont in Oulchy-le-Château. Paul Landowski carved eight figures in granite, each eight metres tall: seven soldiers of different arms with closed eyes, rising from their shrouds, around a naked young man. A statue of France with a round shield stands further down, reached by four flights of four steps.

Paul Landowski received the state commission in November 1919 and presented a plaster project called Les Morts; the granite group won an honourable medal at the Salon des artistes français in 1923. The site on the Chalmont hill at Oulchy-le-Château, where the Germans retreated on 28 July 1918, was chosen by veterans themselves, and the official order was placed in July 1926. The monument was classified as a historical monument on 31 July 1934, before completion, and inaugurated on 21 July 1935 by President Albert Lebrun.

The group is called Les Fantômes, though Landowski first named the plaster project Les Morts; it won a medal of honour at the 1923 Salon des artistes français. The seven soldiers, eyes closed, rise from their shrouds around a naked youth, while the statue of France at the entrance carries a shield inscribed Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. A commemorative spectacle was staged on the site in August 2008.

The monument stands on the butte de Chalmont, about 155 m high, above the plain near Oulchy-le-Château. The statue of La France stands at the entrance, and four flights of four steps, one per war year, lead up to Les Fantômes at the summit. The two sculptures are several hundred metres apart, so allow time to walk between them.

Landowski promised in 1916, while fighting in the war, "I will raise them up". The group was first called Les Morts and won an honourable medal at the 1923 Salon des artistes français. The monument was listed as a historical monument in 1934, before it was even finished.
