The Memorial offers guided tours of the exhibition "Alan’s War" composed of a unique set of original plates from Alan’s comic book La Guerre d'Alan by Emmanuel Guibert and a selection of preparatory drawings as well as the author’s personal objects used to create this work.

In June 1994, Emmanuel Guibert, Grand Prix du Festival de bande dessinée d'Angoulême in 2020, made a decisive encounter. On vacation on the island of Ré, he asks for directions from a passerby, Alan Ingram Cope, American retiree, World War II veteran living on the island. A friendship and a complicity are born immediately between them and will last until the disappearance of the former soldier in August 1999. Emmanuel Guibert had no idea that he would devote years of his life to this extraordinary and humble man, who, like many young Americans of his time, was enlisted in the army and crossed Europe to wage war.
Emmanuel Guibert has staged the episodes of Alan Cope’s life during the Second World War in this graphic novel, which will be the subject of 3 volumes published from 2000 to 2008 by L'Association, and a full edition in 2009, followed, again by the same publisher, by L'Enfance d'Alan in 2012 and Martha and Alan in 2017.
