    This is a World War I memorial monument located in Fère-en-Tardenois, France, dedicated to local soldiers who died for France between 1914 and 1918. The monument features a allegorical female figure (likely representing France or a grieving mother) holding a child and a laurel wreath, atop a stone pedestal with a battle relief sculpture. The inscription reads 'AUX ENFANTS DE FÈRE-EN-TARDENOIS MORTS POUR LA FRANCE' (To the children of Fère-en-Tardenois who died for France).

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
