On 14 September 1944, in the turret of his tank, Field Marshal Guy Dalle, Père Blanc, was shot dead by a German sniper stationed in the bell tower: he had refused to fire on the "House of God".
Nearby: stele in tribute to Captain Y. Hervouët (1920-1954), wounded at Belmont in 1944, who died for France in Indochina.
