    The Monument Aux Soldats Français is a war memorial made of white cement on the Kemmelberg. It was erected to commemorate the French soldiers who fell there in April 1918 during the Battle of Kemmelberg. It stands near a French mass grave (western flank) in which more than 5000 French soldiers lie. The 17-meter-high monument was inaugurated on September 18, 1932.

    Against the column on the pedestal stands a winged Greek goddess of victory. The monument is therefore popularly known as Den Engel. The column itself mentions the names of the French units that fought here.
