Stake attention in this memory
A dark gray informational plaque, oriented vertically, is prominently displayed behind a metal fence or railing. The plaque commemorates HENRY LÉVY-FINGER (1921-1944), featuring a black and white portrait of him on the left side. The man, depicted from the chest up, appears to be in military uniform, looking slightly to the right. The text on the plaque details his life and military service. It identifies him as an "Artilleur au 1/3e RAC," born in Paris on October 4, 1921, and deceased in Strasbourg on November 24, 1944, having "Died for France." He was a "Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur," a "Compagnon de la Libération," and awarded the "Croix de guerre 1939-45." The main narrative explains that he refused defeat, joined the Free French Forces in England in June 1940 at 18, served in artillery in Cameroon in 1942, participated in the Tunisia campaign, and fought with the 2nd DB through Alsace. He was mortally wounded on November 24, 1944, on what is now the Place de la République in Strasbourg, and is buried in the national necropolis of Strasbourg-Cronenbourg. Below the main text, his name is repeated, with the source cited as "Musée de l'ordre de la Libération." Logos for the "MINISTERE DES ARMÉES" and "GOUVERNEUR MILITAIRE DE STRASBOURG" are visible at the bottom left, along with a "80 ANS DE LA LIBÉRATION" logo at the top right. The plaque is attached to a metal structure, and in the foreground are light grey metal fence posts. To the right of the plaque, an old, weathered stone pillar or wall, possibly covered in moss or lichen, is visible. The background shows blurred vegetation and possibly some buildings, suggesting an outdoor setting during daytime with soft, even lighting. The location is confirmed as Strasbourg, France, by the text.
