A virtual version of the wall of names at The Memorial to the Wars in Indochina
At the center of the necropolis, stands a wall listing the names of the members of the military who "Died for France" in Indo-china but whose bodies are not at Fréjus (those missing in action in Viet Nam or returned to their families in France).
34,935 names, grouped by year of death and then alphabetically are inscribed on 438 plaques arranged on either side of a bronze map of Indo-china, a last reminder of those distant lands. The Wall was inaugurated on December 19, 1996.
