Artist

Etienne Camus (1867-...), of Toulouse, designed a statue of a soldier (Le poilu) which was made by, among others, the Fonderies de Tusey, the Fonderies Edmond Guichard of Castelnaudary and distributed by Hector Jacomet de Villedieu (Vaucluse), and is therefore found on hundreds of monuments.
