Lodève war memorial, War memorial in Lodève, France
The memorial features four women and two children standing before a funeral effigy, constructed from patinated Lens stone with an ocher surface finish.
Inaugurated in 1930 by Minister Louis Germain-Martin, this monument commemorates the local soldiers who died during World War I and subsequent conflicts.
The sculpture represents different social classes through the four women, who symbolize the seasons while attending to a fallen soldier in the garden.
Located in the former episcopal park near the cathedral of Lodève, the memorial serves as a central point for commemorative ceremonies throughout the year.
The sculptor Paul Dardé, who served as a stretcher-bearer in World War I, created this work reflecting his direct experience with war's devastation.
