World War I memorials commemorate the events and the casualties of World War I.These war memorials include civic memorials, larger national monuments, war cemeteries, private memorials and a range of utilitarian designs such as halls and parks, dedicated to remembering those involved in the conflict.
To commemorate the centenary of the Great War, Coming World Remember Me was started in 2014. Coming World Remember Me is a four-year project revolving around two large works of art by Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen, with 600,000 small clay statues standing in between – one for each of the victims of the First World War in Belgium.
As well as the era-defining battle of Waterloo, the two greatest conflicts of modern time have been fought on Belgian soil. World War I and World War II have left Belgium with a legacy of some 800 military cemeteries.
In 1937 the monument moved from its place in the market to its current location, the little park in front of the townhall. Emiel Faresyn stonemason from St. Nicholas took on this task, The total cost amounted to more than 10,000 francs. It still remains an enigma who has designed the statue.
The war memorial involves the work of Michelet Firmin-Marcelin (1875–1951) and dates from 1926. There is also a statue of Maréchal Foch in Bouchavesnes-Bergen. The reconstruction of the village and the statue of Maréchal Foch as well as the war memorial, were financed by way of gifts from a Norwegian.
After the Great War many of the unidentified French soldiers were exhumed and reinterred in the ossuary at Mont Kemmel. Jean Fréour (1919-2010), was a member of the Breton art movement Seiz Breur. In his long working life he created many religious calvary monuments and fine statues in Brittany and other parts of France.

Around the statue you will see the semicircular, white-marble colonnade. Note the gilded words around the top of the colonnade giving it a regal air. The Soviet War Memorial is located at the southern end of the Schwarzenbergplatz in central Vienna.
Paraphrasing Pierre Berton, in “Marching As To War,” Canada gained her independence and identity — in effect, grew up — through the crucible of the First World War and the hard fought battles in the North Atlantic, Italian, and European campaigns of the Second World War.
