Ce monument, comme beaucoup en France a été dressé en hommage aux soldats de la ville morts durant la première guerre mondiale.
Après la seconde guerre mondiale, ce même monument a également accueilli une ou plusieurs plaques pour rendre hommage aux soldats décédés durant cette guerre, et c'est également fréquent en France.
Ce qui est plus rare est qu'une plaque a été également ajoutée pour commémorer le sacrifice des soldats décédés en Afrique du Nord entre 1952 et 1962.
