This remembrance monument is located at one of the entrances of the Park St. Pierre. It's inaugurated in 1904 in honour of the Calais people killed in colonial expeditions. The frontage shows a statue of Valour, the left hand leaning on the town coat of arms. The top shows Glory crowning Capt. Louis Dutertre, hero of the battle of Sidi-Brahim in 1845. Born on the outskirts of Calais, at Coulogne, Dutertre, a regimental infantry officer was taken prisoner by Abd el-Kader.
