Stake attention in this memory
An outdoor informational plaque, oriented vertically, displays a black and white portrait of Pierre Richet. The sign, predominantly black with white text, is visible behind a dark metal fence or railing with decorative balusters. To the right of the sign, a textured stone wall, partially covered with moss or lichen, is visible. The scene appears to be set outdoors during daylight hours under an overcast sky, with no strong shadows. The main subject of the sign is Pierre Richet, whose dates (1904-1983) are prominently displayed. His portrait shows a man with a slight smile. The text on the sign, in French, details his military career as a French military doctor. It notes his service in the Army of Africa in Morocco, joining the Free French Forces (FFL) in Tunisia, and commanding the Health Service of General Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division. He led the 13th medical battalion and actively participated in the campaign of France, notably resuscitating Leclerc during a heart attack in Paris, and staying with him until Germany's capitulation. His honors include Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre 1939-45, and Croix de Guerre for External Operations Theaters. Below the text, logos are present, including "MINISTERE DES ARMÉES" (Ministry of Armed Forces) and "GOUVERNEUR MILITAIRE DE STRASBOURG" (Military Governor of Strasbourg), indicating the plaque's location context in Strasbourg, France, and its military historical significance. Another logo depicts a red shield with a white cross, and a "80 ANS" (80 Years) emblem. The image credit "© LJ Bruce-Chwatt. Alamy Images" is also visible.
