1918 : Leaving the war
Reunion
A man in his uniform poses with his wife wearing her nurse costume. Alphonse Hauwaert, from Uccle, had spent the entire war at the Yser front. During those four years, his wife had cared for the wounded and the ill in the hospitals of Brussels. Men and wife were reunited only after the Armistice. This picture immortalizes their reunion.
