| Summary: | The protection of the physical vestiges of the First World War is part of a heritage process which began well before the end of the war. As early as 1915, there were several projects for keeping certain ruined buildings and remains of particularly ravaged battlefields. A Commission des Vestiges et souvenirs de Guerre (War Memory and Relics Commission) was set up in 1917. As member of this commission, the Historic Monuments architect André Ventre, undertook an inventory and put forward the first proposals for sites worthy of statutory protection. This unprecedented operation may be seen as an anticipation of the memory of the conflict, encouraged by battlefield tourism which was already developing. |
