This is a monument for the Belgians who were interned in the Netherlands between 1914-1918
Beautiful, what an elegant memorial

That is another aspect of the war unknown to me. Thanks for sharing.

So many young men interred away from home. A lovely crop to highlight this monument

A beautiful understated carving. I can't help thinking that if countries had thought about the young men a hundred years ago, the way that we are doing today, things might have had a very different outcome.

De eerste wereldoorlog leeft niet zo in Ned. In Zeeland meer . Hier (Z.Vl.) stond zelfs een electrische afrastering om de Belgische vluchtelingen tegen te houden. De andere kant van de medaille. Om het nog erger te maken , Wij produceerde de crack die de Franse/geallieerde soldaten kregen om maar de oorlog in te gaan.

Such a lovely tribute to those affected by war so long ago. A solemn reminder of the cost.
I have really enjoyed going through your albums once again. They bring back the memories of the monthly words which you are so faithful with.
You have such a wide variety of subjects but I did not see many night time shots.
So your challenge for the week is do a night-time scene now that our days are so short with such early sunsets.
There is a bonus if you can manage to get the moon and / or stars included.

@farmreporter I’ll do my best Wendy! Thank you for the challenge and looking through my albums, I like the words of the month, although you set us sometimes some difficult challenges.

@pyrrhula Het viel mij ook al op dat wij Hollanders niet zo bezig zijn met de 1eWO. Maar als ik uw reactie lees waren we ook niet zo heel lekker bezig toen. Bedankt voor de interessante informatie.
