Stake attention in this memory
The image captures a bronze commemorative plaque affixed to a dark, polished stone wall, likely part of a larger war memorial in Grenoble, France. The plaque is dedicated by "LA SNCF A SES MORTS GUERRE 1939 - 1945" (The SNCF to its Dead War 1939 - 1945), honoring the personnel of the French National Railway Company who perished during World War II. The plaque lists names under different categories: "MORTS AU SERVICE" (Dead in Service), "MORTS EN CAMP D'ALLEMAGNE" (Dead in German Camps), and "MORTS POUR LA LIBÉRATION" (Dead for Liberation). Visible names include BORNLEY, GLASSEY, LAFOUAT, BEST, CLUPE, HOMART, BAILLAT, BAIRRAL, LAWEL, and BOISSELEAU, among others. The inscription at the bottom confirms the specific dedication: "LE PERSONNEL DE LA SNCF DE GRENOBLE A SES GLORIEUX MORTS" (The personnel of the SNCF of Grenoble to its glorious dead). To the right of the plaque, a stylized metal relief of a palm frond is embedded in the stone. The years "1914" and "1918" are also engraved on the dark wall, suggesting that this World War II memorial is integrated with or adjacent to a memorial for World War I. The scene evokes a solemn and commemorative atmosphere. The lighting suggests daylight.
