1918 : Leaving the war
‘Our Courageous Disabled’
On 20 June 1920, Watermael-Boisfort celebrated its heroes. Symbols of self-sacrifice, the disabled of the municipality sat in the forefront. Despite the construction of monuments, the memory of war was especially strong on a local scale. All the municipalities dedicated specific monuments to the “their” victims.
