Two vertical bronze panels feature high-relief designs. On the left, a nude, helmeted man stands amidst rubble inscribed "LE POILU," holding a sword and flag beneath sunrays labeled "VERDUN." On the right, a helmeted woman's profile faces our left, framed by a laurel wreath and the text "LA FRANCE A VERDUN 1916 1917." Below her, a blank rectangular nameplate sits above a knotted ribbon motif.
