Le Canada et la solidarité internationale à la Belgique (1914-1921). L’Œuvre de Secours pour les Victimes de la Guerre en Belgique

Brice Prince

By the end of August 1914, Maurice Goor, Hector Prud’homme and Lambert Jadot began organising Canadian charity for Belgium by creating L’Œuvre de Secours pour les Victimes de la Guerre en Belgique. This was part of a vast international movement of aid to Belgium that was set up in the early hours of the conflict. Although the ambitions of its administrators were rather modest, it quickly became popular with both the elites and the Canadian population in general. Throughout the war, however, L’Œuvre de Secours was marked by major changes.

Pierre Lannoy (docent bij de Faculté de Philosophie et sciences sociales aan de Université Libre de Bruxelles) legt een ‘vergeten geschiedenis’ bloot, door te kijken naar de aanwezigheid en inzet van Italiaanse krijgsgevangenen die na de slag om Caporetto in oktober-november 1917 werden geïnterneerd in bezet België.

Lions and kangaroos : mobilising the Anzac legend in the Ypres salient

Matthew Haultain-Gall

In 1936, the Australian War Memorial acquired two stone lions that once guarded the Menin Gate entrance to the Belgian town of Ypres. The Memorial’s director, John Treloar, felt the Memorial had scored a “great scoop” because of their “historical value”. However, when the lions arrived in Canberra, it was apparent the damage they sustained during the war meant they would need to undergo some form of restoration. Unfortunately, little progress was made in this endeavour for several decades and the lions did not end up going on permanent display until 1991.

Identities Lost and Found in the Commemorative Landscapes of the Great War

Karen Shelby

By their very nature, national building programs legitimize and ennoble some groups and exclude and silence others. This is underscored in commemorative architecture, which visually amplifies messages of communal belonging or separation. In the First World War, the burial and sacrifices of soldiers in the Indian Expeditionary Forces and those employed in the Chinese Labor Corps were subsumed into a topography of a British remembrance practice.
