Ninety percent destroyed during the Great War of 1914-1918, the town of Lacroix-sur-Meuse was awarded the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 avec palme in 1921.
The monument was created in 1927 by sculptor Duillio Donzelli, winner of the Grand Prix de Sculpture, in tribute to the many soldiers and civilians killed in Lacroix-sur-Meuse during the Great War.
It was inaugurated by the Minister of War, André Maginot, in 1929.
