5th Infantry Division Stele of Jametz (South)
Details:
The monument is located right behind a small white and black road marker on the D905 highway. Fields are located immediately behind the memorial and on the opposite side of the highway there is a small group of bushes and other vegetation that parallels the road. Marker The form of this concrete pillar resembles other monuments left by the 5th U.S. Infantry Division but it lacks the white paint or bright Red Diamond insignia that other monuments of this sort possess. Although the Red Diamonds and the plaque which would have displayed the inscription describing the importance of Jametz in the 5th Infantry Division's advance are missing, their outline is still visible. The outline of two large Red Diamonds are visible to oncoming traffic along D905 while the outline of the the plaque and a smaller Red Diamond that still maintains some of its original color face the road.
