La
Ferte-sous-Jouarre Memorial, Seine-et-Marne, France, commemorates nearly 4,000
officers and men of the British Expeditionary Force who died in August, September
and the early part of October 1914 and who have no known grave. The monument consists
of a rectangular block of stone, with the names of the dead engraved on stone
panels on all sides of the monument. The monument is surmounted by a sarcophagus
and a trophy carved in stone. At the four corners of the pavement are stone piers
with urns, carved with the coats of arms of the Empire. Three men of the North
Irish Horse, Private W. H. Moore, Private
H. StG. L. Scott, and Driver M. Callanan, are commemorated
here. Image
