This discreet place, without visible graves, is a reminder of the measures taken in the past to limit contagion and the vulnerability of rural communities to major epidemics.

In September 2013, the Auxon-Dessous war memorial was moved about ten meters to a new square opened by the destruction of small municipal buildings. The creation of the commune of Auxons in 2015 prompted elected officials to modify the monument on rue du Stade that year so that the remembrance ceremonies would include all the dead of the new commune. The commemorative plaques were modified to include all the names of the “Children of the village who died for their country”. Two steles were affixed on either side of the obelisk. One for the young people below, the other for those above. The commemorative plaque affixed to the wall of the cemetery on rue des Marronniers will not be removed and will remain as a memorial.
