The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le monument aux morts de Pouilly se situe au centre de la place de la Libération. Réalisé par le sculpteur Paul Gascq, originaire de Dijon, il fut inauguré le 3 octobre 1920. Dressée sur un haut piédestal, la France, revêtue d’une armure et d’une draperie, tient serré un casque couronné de lauriers. Sa physionomie calme personnifie la résignation dans le deuil. Le monument est entouré d’une grille de style Art Déco.

The war memorial of Pouilly is situated in the centre of the Place de la Libération. Realised by the sculptor Paul Gascq, a native of Dijon, it was inaugurated on 3 October 1920. Raised on a high pedestal, France, clad in armour and drapery, holds close a helmet crowned with laurels. Her calm features personify resignation in grief. The monument is surrounded by a fence of Art Deco style.
