Le Tombeau sous l'Arc de Triomphe is a play by French playwright Paul Raynal (1885-1971) [1]. It is a tragedy in three acts, written in 1924, a powerful drama which shows a soldier on leave from the front and carries its tense scenes forward with merely three persons - the soldier himself, the girl to whom he is betrothed (Aude), and his father.
