Stake attention in this memory
The image, rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, displays a dark blue informational plaque installed outdoors next to a weathered stone wall. The plaque commemorates Raymonde Jeanmougin (1922-2018), a French military nurse. On the left side of the plaque, a black and white photograph shows a young woman, likely Raymonde Jeanmougin, smiling broadly while wearing a military helmet and a tie. The text on the plaque, printed in white, provides biographical details. It identifies Raymonde Jeanmougin as a nurse in the 2nd Armored Division (2e DB), born in Troyes in 1922 and deceased in 2018 in Val d'Oise. She received numerous military decorations, including the Military Medal, Commander of the National Order of Merit, and the Croix de guerre 1939-45. The inscription details her service as an ambulance driver ("Rochambelle") with Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division, following its progression from Utah Beach in August 1944 through Paris to Strasbourg. She remained a guardian of memory, active at the 2e DB veterans' office. It also notes that in 2024, a street in Caen was named "l'Ange bleu" in her honor. A quote at the bottom reads "ADIEUX à RAYMONDE JEANMOUGIN. © 2º DB - Général LECLERC." At the bottom left of the plaque are the logos for the "MINISTERE DES ARMÉES" (Ministry of Armed Forces) and "GOUVERNEUR MILITAIRE DE STRASBOURG" (Military Governor of Strasbourg), reinforcing the official and military nature of the memorial. The stone wall to the right of the plaque is covered in green moss and white lichen, suggesting age. A line of small, decorative metal balusters runs along the top of the low stone wall. The setting appears to be a somber outdoor memorial, likely in Strasbourg, France, given the contextual information.
