Stele for Jules Cozier

This stele is dedicated to Jules Cozier, one of the victims of the atrocities the German army committed in Rossignol. As a matter of fact, on the 23rd of August 1914, after their victory during the battle of Rossignol, the German soldiers herded 122 civilians into a meadow. These inhabitants were shot by the German soldiers on the 26 of August in Arlon. Jules Cozier was shot at the same time as two of his sons. He was a water and forest officer.

 

Cette stèle est dédiée à Jules Cozier, une des victimes des atrocités allemandes de Rossignol. En effet, le 23 août 1914 suite à leur victoire lors du combat de Rossignol, les soldats allemands parquent 122 civils dans une prairie. Ces habitants sont fusillés par les Allemands, le 26 août, à Arlon. Jules Cozier est fusillé en même temps que deux de ses fils. Il était brigadier des eaux et forêts.
