Career

In 1921 he collaborated with the architect Leon Stynen to create a war memorial column (Herdenkingsmonument 1914–1918) in Knokke to commemorate the fallen of World War I.[2][3] From a total of 16 designs submitted, Stynen's was the one accepted, and Stynen collaborated with Dumont to make the monument. There is a plaque affixed to the monument on which Dumont's name is misspelled "Dupont".[4]

The memorial consists of four standing figures representing soldiers leaning against a central column. The sculpture was inaugurated on 11 June 1922.[3]
