The memorial stands in the Rue aux Toiles and remembers the men of Quintin who were killed in the 1914-1918 war. Élie Le Goff carried out the sculptural work involved. The memorial takes the form of a menhir with a relief carving of the head of a helmeted soldier cut into the granite. In front of the menhir, Le Goff places the sculpture of a mother with her child, the woman appearing to be telling the boy who the soldier was. On the back of the menhir is the Quintin coat of arms.
The sculptural work on this memorial is attributed to Le Goff and features an officer with a sword in his hand protecting a dying young soldier. The names of the 168 men killed in the 1914-1918 war are listed as well as those of 11 men who gave their lives in the 1870 war. Subsequently, a further 32 names were added, victims of the 1939-1945 war, and 6 names of men killed in Indochina and Algeria.
This 1922 granite memorial in the Place du Général de Gaulle has Élie Le Goff's depiction of Joan of Arc with a bas-relief below depicting the head of a soldier in profile.
