War Memorial in Salvagnac.
It was interesting and touching to see the contrasting memorials in a small and impoverished town like Salvagnac, which did not put the names of its fallen sons on the commemorative plaque for its Great War memorial, and in Albi with its fine basilica. The Saint Salvy area of Albi has its own plaque in the parish church.

War Memorial in Saint Salvy, Albi.
Spent several hours in the town of Moissac on the Tarn River, with its memorial to its 300 dead in the Great War. The detachable plaque has enabled the name of the town’s single casualty in Afghanistan to be added to his fellows from the First and Second Wars and the colonial wars in Algeria, Morocco and Indo-China.
