This inscription places the object at the very beginning of World War II, in Bourges, an important military center at that time.

This is apparently a commemorative gift given to an officer of the colonial troops in October 1939.
This inscription gives the piece a rare historical dimension. It is very likely a token of recognition, turning this sculpture into a personal object charged with history.
