**Boezinge** submitted by pascal : As a memorial to the Breton soldiers killed by a gas attack during the first world war, a place of pilgrimmage has been created which includes a dolmen brought here from the village of Hénanbihan. (Vote or comment on this photo)

As a memorial to the Breton soldiers killed by a gas attack during the First World War, a place of pilgrimage has been created in 1927.

Update by Alta-Falisa, 13 August 2014.
In 1927, the town of Plourgat (Brittany) presented a 16th century Calvary, which was erected in the village of Boezinge, in the midst of this WWI-battelfield.
A survivor of this first gas attack, J.B.Lebret, presented the stones, taken from a megalith at Hénanbihen (see photo of the original monument), to reconstruct a dolmen.
