This stele, already in bad shape, had just been replaced by the “Souvenir Français de La Nièvre”.
February 2021, the family donated the Casoar, the hat, the jacket and various element of captain Patureau-Mirand’s uniform.
Later in 2021, Daniel Jalu, member of the “Les Amis de La Martinerie” board of directors, decided to renovate that plaque and restore the writing.
After more than 30 hours of intense work, the plaque is finally ready to be displayed.
Thank you, Daniel, for the quality of your work.
