Aux Cambodgiens et Laotiens morts pour la France
Aux Cambodgiens et Laotiens morts pour la France stands in the Jardin d’Agronomie Tropicale, within Paris’s Bois de Vincennes. This memorial honours Cambodian and Laotian soldiers who died fighting for France during the First World War.
The garden began as a colonial testing ground for exotic plants and hosted a major exhibition in 1907. During the First World War, a hospital there treated colonial troops. The surrounding grounds preserve the Porte Chinoise and pavilions reflecting architectural styles from former colonies.
Other monuments commemorate Malagasy soldiers, Indochinois Chrétiens, and Black soldiers who died for France. A monument to the latter was inaugurated in 1940.
