On the east side of the road.

The memorial consists of a large, roughly hewn upright stone fitted with two bronze-colored plaques. The upper plaque identifies B-24H #42-50336 Pale Ale and records the date of its crash, February 20, 1945, while the larger lower plaque honors the aircrafts crew. Erected near the crash site at La Ferme de Beauvolers in Dergneau, the monument was built by Jean-Claude Parez in 1995, with both plaques inscribed in French.
