Temporary Memorials

 

Many people are aware of the two temporary cenotaphs built in 1919 (one in London, the other in Paris) but there was another temporary Great War memorial built in Paris in 1919 - the Monument to the tanks.

 

It was a somewhat bizarre structure erected to coincide with the Paris Motor Show of that year and celebrated the part played by the internal combustion engine during the war. I've done a bit of research on it and you can read a little bit more about it here

 

I hope you find it as fascinating as I did!
