has description | a une description

The committee for the erection of a monument to Gallieni in Paris, created by the Ligue Maritime et Coloniale Française, commissions sculptor Eugène Bénet to make the sculpture. The committee argues it is too small for Paris, and decides to place this first draft outside of the city, near the site of Gallieni's battle inWorld War I in Trilbardour, Seine-et-Marne. The committee then commissions sculptor Jean Boucher to make the current monument, for 300,000 Francs.
