Monument aux Morts de la Légion étrangère
Monument aux Morts de la Légion étrangère, War memorial at French Foreign Legion Museum in Aubagne, France.
The memorial features a rectangular cenotaph covered in white marble plates and topped with a bronze globe marking Legion campaign locations.
Originally constructed in Sidi-bel-Abbès in 1931, the monument was dismantled and rebuilt in Aubagne during 1962 following Algeria's independence.
Four bronze statues at each corner depict legionnaires from different periods, representing the military evolution from 1830 to World War I.
The memorial serves as the central gathering point for official ceremonies, particularly during the annual Camerone Day celebrations on April 30.
Legionnaires funded the monument's construction by contributing one day of their salary every month for four years.
