EN: This memorial is located in the center of Leymen, west of the church just outside the churchyard.
The monument is made of rounded blocks of concrete. The back side has the picture of an eternal flame and the golden letters: "1914-1918 1939-1945 en memoire de nos enfants victimes des deux guerres." (in memory of our children, victimes of the two wars).
In the center on the ground there is a metal ball with a lot of small stakes coming out of it. I don't know what it is.
