Presentation
Stele inaugurated on 14 September 1941 by General Laure, Secretary General of the Head of State, who was visiting Cuers to preside over various patriotic ceremonies, with the presentation of a pennant to the Legion section.
It is located in the Pont de Pignans district, where Chief Warrant Officer André Hourcade's plane was shot down on 15 June 1940. It is a marble stele on which a metal palm is fixed.
At the top of the stele, wings, symbolising aviation, are sculpted and form one with the cross.
