War Memorials

Name Location Date Notes
Nîmes War Memorial Square du 11 novembre. Nîmes 1924 By the end of the 1914-1918 war, 12,866 men of the Gard had lost their lives in the conflict and the Nîmes memorial is dedicated to their memory. The decision to erect a memorial was taken in 1920 and the town organized a competition to select the architect and sculptor which was won by the architect Henri Castan with sculpture by Carli. The memorial's inauguration took place on 13 October 1924, with the French President Gaston Doumergue officiating. The memorial comprises a sunken crypt, an arch ("arc de triomphe") forming an entry to that crypt and an ornate cast iron gate made by Tréchard. Carli's sculptures decorate the arch's sides. On the floor of the crypt there is a huge mosaic made by Patrizio et Frères of Marseille and the names of those 12,866 remembered are engraved on the crypt's walls. The arch itself carries a quotation from Victor Hugo.

"Ceux qui pieusement sont morts pour la patrie/ont droit qu'à leur cercueil la foule vienne et prie;/entre les plus beaux noms leur nom est le plus beau/La voix d'un peuple entier les berce en leur tombeau"!

Carli's haut relief on the right hand support comprises a female allegory for Nîmes urging a man in working clothes to enlist. The allegorical figure wears a crown depicting the Maison Carrée. By the man's side his wife holds a new-born child. In the relief on the left, the war is over, and the victors pay hommage to the dead. The female allegory now holds a wreath, and below her are three citizens, a soldier and a young girl carry flowers whilst a bare chested working man in apron and wearing clogs offers a wreath. They look towards the centre of the arch and the crypt. [32][33][34]

 
War memorial (Monument aux morts) Saint-Jean-du-Gard 1922 The memorial stands in the place Carnot and features a female allegory of a victorious France wearing a Roman helmet and antique costume and carrying a sword and flag. In a defiant pose, her left foot rests on the mouth of a canon.
