The impressive white-painted memorial to recognise the effort and sacrifice of the
Free French forces during Word War Two.
The whole monument stands about thirty feet high. The inscription tablets are in French and English.
There's very little information about who financed or built the monument but it seems to have been erected around 1946 or '47.
Access by road is easy (signposted to Lyle Hill), there's ample free parking and as you can see wheelchair access is easy.
