1912, Inauguration of Monument to Doctor Hamy.
The monument had been ready since November 1911, and installed in the Place Godeffroi de Bouillon, in the center of the old upper town, but the committee preferred to wait until spring for the inauguration. In March, when the municipality began to prepare for the inauguration, Mademoiselle Dubard-Hamy, the statue's daughter, with the support of the mayor of Boulogne-sur-Mer, asked that the monument be moved to a more tree-lined and airy location. After obtaining the agreement of the sculptor, the mayor moved the monument to the Boulevard du Prince Albert, at the foot of the ramparts of the old upper town.
