Jerrymurland Posted 17 November , 2016 Share Posted 17 November , 2016 What's the story behind the statue? I'm aware of the fighting that rook place here in 1917 but I'm intrigued by the statue itself, has it any significance to the events of 1917? When was it erected etc. any help much appreciated Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cubin Posted 17 November , 2016 Share Posted 17 November , 2016 No background info, I'm afraid. When I visited last year, the plinth was there but the statue was missing. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrymurland Posted 18 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 18 November , 2016 That's interesting John, vandalism or repair I wonder. The statue is over 100 years old and was there when the 1917 attack on Cherisy went in. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto_33853 Posted 18 November , 2016 Share Posted 18 November , 2016 (edited) The Plinth was there but not statue 2 years ago, also there were a lot of building materials near the statue when visited. I asked about it in the thread about Cherisy but got no reply as to what was going on at the time.
