An outdoor informational plaque, oriented vertically but captured horizontally in the image, commemorates Danièle Clément-Heintz. The plaque features a black and white portrait of a woman with short, curly hair, smiling slightly and looking towards the viewer. The sign is dark grey with white text and images. Text on the plaque identifies her as DANIÈLE CLÉMENT-HEINTZ (1922 - 2008), a nurse of the 2nd Armored Division (2e DB). Biographical details state she was born in Caen on May 7, 1922, died in Le Vésinet on March 13, 2008, and was a Knight of the Legion of Honor, Military Medal recipient, and awarded the War Cross 1939-45. The main text describes her volunteering as a student nurse to join the 2e DB, serving with the Rochambeau group. After Paris, she participated in the Lorraine campaign, including the Battle of Dompaire, and contributed to the liberation of Strasbourg. In January 1945, she joined the 33rd Medical Battalion of the 1st French Army under General de Lattre de Tassigny, serving until Tübingen and being demobilized in December 1945. The plaque also displays logos including the "MINISTÈRE DES ARMÉES," "80 ANS LIBERATION Strasbourg," and "GOUVERNEUR MILITAIRE DE STRASBOURG," indicating the commemorative context in Strasbourg, France. The photo is attributed to the "Collection familiale Heintz." The plaque appears mounted on a metal fence or railing, with some green foliage visible behind it. Below the plaque is a stone structure, possibly a wall or curb. A small torn area is visible on the lower left of the plaque. The scene is illuminated by daylight.
