The decision to build the monument was made in 1919 and a competition was opened in late 1920. Of around forty submissions, the jury selected Camille Raynaud's project, ahead of those by Henri-Raphaël Moncassin and André Abbal; The city of Toulouse, however, decided to associate the three authors in the final realization, under the supervision of the architect Léon Jaussely. The work was not completed until 1928, and Raynaud's bas-reliefs were not finally completed until 1931. The cost of the monument amounted to 1,349,540 francs. The war memorial is listed as a historical monument on October 18, 2018. It is part of a set of 42 monuments to the dead in the Occitania region protected to date for their architectural, artistic or historical value (such as the archer of Heracles and the monument to the dead in the districts of Bayard, Matabiau, Concorde and Chalets, also in Toulouse).

Cool

Joli monument aux morts. En ces temps de gilets jaunes c'est assez triste de le voir enfumé de lacrymo tous les samedis. Une pensée pour nos ancêtres courageux morts pour nos libertés. Vu la situation actuelle et la violence envers les manifestants pacifistes.. Nous ne pouvons que constater tristement que la mémoire humaine est courte... Et un monument symbolique finalement n'y change pas grand chose..
