Re Derivative Work André Maginot Memorial[edit]

Have added info to image, the only info available, namely that the memorial was designed by one Gaston Brouquet, and that it was dedicated in 1966. I am not sure how to add this to the actual image infromation, perhaps someone can do it for me. Dieter Simon (talk) Dieter Simon (talk)

"...work of Paul Painlevé, Maginot's successor as Minister of War."[edit]

This is not clear about when Paul Painlevé lead this. Maginot's & Painlevé's periods as Minister of War were interwoven, see Minister of War (France). Dajanes (talk) 17:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
