This monument commemorates the residents of Ghyvelde who died in the First and Second World Wars.
The monument stands on the square in front of the church.
Atop the column is a sculpture: at the front, a soldier with a rifle and a flag in his hand.
Behind him is the statue of a victorious woman holding a laurel wreath above the flag. Below that, a cross in relief:
"1914 – 1918"
"To the children
of Ghyvelde
who died
for France"
On the plinth are several memorial plaques:
"To the fighters
Tunisia – Morocco – Algeria * Indochina
1952-1962 1946-1954"
