Monument aux morts de l'armee d'Orient et aux heros des terres lointaines [Monument dedicated to commemorate French soldiers and sailors who died in WWI.]

The memorial/monument arch aka 'The Gate of the Orient' was designed by architect Gaston Castel, with Antoine Sartorio as the sculptor; it was inaugurated in 1927 [tripadvisor info]. It faces the Mediterranean Sea and was under repair when this photo was taken - Marseille, France.
