A few years after the Great War, Bouvelinghem was one of the (rare?) Communes of Pas-de-Calais not yet to have a monument dedicated to soldiers who died on the battlefield.
Only a plaque placed in the church "by the care of the clergy and paid for by private charity" paid homage to the Dead for France
Finally, the inauguration will take place on Sunday July 27, 1930
Regarding the inscriptions, those of “Morts pour la France during the 1914-1918 war” will be on the face of the pyramid which faces the road. On both side faces will be inscribed those who have died in the aftermath of the war and whose families will request the inscriptions.
The inscriptions on the monument show the names and surnames of the soldiers of the town who died during the 1914-1918 war, or as a result of injuries, shortly after the war.
Quelques années après la Grande Guerre, Bouvelinghem était l’une des (rares?) communes du Pas-de-Calais à ne pas encore posséder de Monument dédié aux soldats morts sur les champs de bataille.
Seule une plaque posée dans l’église « par les soins du clergé et payée par la charité privée » rendait hommage aux Morts pour la France.
Finalement l’inauguration aura lieu le dimanche 27 juillet1930.
En ce qui concerne les inscriptions, celles de “Morts pour la France pendant la guerre 1914-1918” se fera sur la face de la pyramide qui regarde la route. Sur l’une et l’autre des faces latérales seront inscrits ceux qui sont décédés des suites de la guerre et dont les familles demanderont les inscriptions.
