About us
After the bombardment, a white stone is placed at the exact spot where Mademoiselle Jalaguier was killed.
In 1933 a subscription was launched at the initiative of another nurse nicknamed "maman Perdon" and Doctor Ferrand, head physician of the Pierrefonds military hospital in 1918. The honorary committee was chaired by the President of the Republic, Mr. Albert Lebrun.
On June 5, 1955 a monument was erected at the place of the white stone. The National Union of Combatants sold the monument to the city in 1996. Restored, it was inaugurated on October 12 of the same year. The bronze statue was made from a plaster project by Maxime Real del Sarte.
There are only three monuments in France which are dedicated to nurses, the second being in Reims and the third in Berck-sur-Mer.
