War Memorial Vivegnis

Rue Marie Monard, 4683 Vivegnis (Oupeye)

Belgium Liège Vivegnis (Oupeye)

This monument at Vivegnis commemorates the soldiers and civilians killed during both World Wars, originating from Vivegnis.

The monument itself appears to portray a soldier struck by a stray bullet at an unguarded moment, which is stilled in time. For reasons that are unclear, locals have hung a scarf around the statue's neck.
