Noted French sculptor Paul Moreau-Vauthier died in 1936 in a car accident. His father Charles (1857-1924) was also a well-known French artist as a painter. Paul was a veteran of the Battle of Verdun in World War I, a fact that highly influenced his work. He became best known for his memorial wall of the Victimes des révolutions (Mur des Fédérés) on Avenue Gambetta in Paris. Moreau-Vauthier also produced a series of sculpted stones with side decorations of infantryman's gear such as water bottles and hand grenades along the 650 km front from Nieuwpoort, Belgium through Moosch, near Altkirch, and on to the Franco-Swiss border.
