"You will find this monument in the Jardin des Moines, after the elbow bridge. This small obelisk has at its base a sculpted stone group of 3 people. A woman (the virgin?) frames two kneeling men with her arms. One is in uniform, the other in underpants. The 3 faces are pathetic.

It is a work of Georges Halbout du Tanney, who worked extensively in Algeria and who died in Bourdeilles in 1986. A crest shows the 2 coats of arms side by side: Brantôme and Bourdeilles."

"Vous trouverez ce monument dans le Jardin des Moines, après le pont coudé. Ce petit obélisque présente à sa base un groupe en pierre sculptée, de 3 personnes . Une femme ( la vierge ?) encadre de ses bras 2 hommes agenouillés. L'un est en uniforme, l'autre en caleçon. Les 3 visages sont pathétiques.

C'est une oeuvre de Georges Halbout du Tanney, qui a beaucoup oeuvré en Algérie et qui est décédé à Bourdeilles en 1986. Un écusson montre les 2 blasons côte à côte : Brantôme et Bourdeilles."
