Switzerland remained politicaly neutral for centuries but supplied mercenaries to foreign governments, including the french one in 1792. About 700 officers died while trying to defend the king from the revolutionary mob and without knowing the royal familly had already escaped. This monument was scumpted in memory of those dead people in the early 1800's.
La Suisse est restée politiquement neutre depuis des siècles mais a fourni des mecenaires à divers gouvernements, y compris la France en 1792. Environ 700 officiers sont morts en essayant de défendre le roi de la foule révolutionaire sans savoir que toute la famille régnante avait déjà fuit. Ce monument a été sculpté en mémoire de ces morts au début des années 1800.
