Lion de Vilcey sur Trey - a photo on Flickriver

Lion de Vilcey sur Trey

            Ce lion, érigé le 21 novembre 1915, a la particularité de regarder vers le front, gueule ouverte, en signe de vigilance.
Il est un signe de mémoire et de respect aux soldats de la 241e brigade d'infanterie tombés dans cette localité lors des combats du Bois le Prêtre.

Tombé dans l'oubli après la première guerre mondiale, il n'a pas échappé au vandalisme et ses inscriptions sur plaque de marbre ont aujourd'hui disparu. Il fait néanmoins partie d’un circuit pédestre balisé, le sortant de l'oubli et invitant le promeneur au recueillement à la mémoire des braves des deux camps tombés dans ces combats terribles.
