Here Quillivic modelled the woman featuring in his sculpture on Marie-Jeanne Kerangel who had lost three sons in the 1914-1918 war. Quillivic had shown the sculpture at the 1922 Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. It is carved from kersantite. In 1925 a reduction in pottery was made by Verlingue-Bolloré as a limited edition. Two hundred and nineteen names are listed as victims of the 1914-1918 war and later the names of those killed in the Second World War and in Indochina and Algeria were added.
