Scott posing in front of the monument for "La Volontaires Americains Morts pour La France". Scott will be performing the poems written by #AlanSeeger with music by #composer Patrick #Zimmerli in June and July. Artist Jean #Boucher used a photograph of the soldier and poet, Alan Seeger, as his inspiration for the #bronze #soldier that tops the monument. #Seeger's name can be found, among those of twenty-three others who had fallen in the ranks of the French Foreign Legion, on the back of the plinth. Also, on either side of the base of the statue, are two excerpts from Seeger's Ode in Memory of the American Volunteers Fallen for France, a poem written shortly before his death on 4 July 1916. "Yet sought they neither recompense nor praise nor to be mentioned in another breath than their blue coated comrades whose great days It was their pride to share by share even to the death" (at Place des États-Unis)
