107 years after the signing of the armistice, the exhibition “Remnants and Memory of the Great War” highlights the material traces left by the 1914-1918 conflict, often buried in the soil of former battlefields.
Through a selection of period objects and documents, the Corgenay Memorial Association invites us to discover relics recently unearthed, sometimes decades after the end of the fighting: military equipment, weapons, graves, trench handicrafts, and more. These are all witnesses to the past that reveal the war strategies and technological advances of the time.
This exhibition highlights the importance of collective memory and the preservation of historical heritage, while also questioning how we perpetuate the memory of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
