| Trets War memorial (monument aux morts) | Trets | The memorial in Trets' place de la Mairie depicts an "angel of victory" in profile who carries a standard in one hand which appears to flutter in the wind. In the other hand she holds a crown. The original intention was to place a cockerel at the top of the monument but this had to be dropped through lack of funds. The angel wears a helmet and stands on a globe. [9] [10] | |
| Aubagne War memorial (monument aux morts) | Aubagne | 1921 | This memorial with sculptures in Carrara marble stands in Aubagne's place du Maréchal-Foch. On the top of the pedestal the "angel of victory", her wings spread, holds aloft a crown of laurels. She towers above two soldiers who stand in poses of defiance their hands linked. One wears an "Adrian" helmet and the other the beret of a "chasseur alpin". This part of the memorial was sculpted by François Carli. Below the pedestal, a woman, an allegory for Aubagne, stands with a child and draws their attention to the inscriptions on the monument. To her right are several indications of a " new dawn" including a crowing cockerel and the rays of the rising sun. This section of the memorial was executed by Raybaud.[11] |
