"The monument to the dead of the town of Meaux was inaugurated on May 24, 1903, following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, then developed over the years after the two World Wars and other armed conflicts.
The war memorial of the town of Meaux was inaugurated on May 24, 1903, hence the deaths of 1870 on the facade and the lion symbolizing the resistance of Belfort against the Prussians under the command of Captain Denfert-Rochereau. On the other faces of the pedestal are the dead of the wars of the 19th century.
In 1923-1924, Meaux had the wall surrounding his monument built, with the Adrian helmet on the pillars of the gate.
The inauguration took place on July 31, 1927: the names of the soldiers who died in 14-18 appear on white marble plaques. "
