Abstract

Naar schatting 315.000 van de 355.000 gemobiliseerde Belgische soldaten overleefden de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Na meer dan vier jaar oorlogsgeweld konden ze eind 1918 eindelijk naar huis terugkeren. De overlevenden brengt het bijzondere politieke verhaal van deze teruggekeerde soldaten en schetst hoe de oorlog hun leven voorgoed veranderde. De oud-strijders zouden immers geen genoegen nemen met een eenvoudige terugkeer naar hun vooroorlogse bestaan. Ze waren ervan overtuigd dat ze vanwege hun oorlogsinspanning erkenning verdienden én dat ze een belangrijke, nieuwe rol te spelen hadden in de Belgische samenleving. Als overlevenden voelden de oud-strijders ook een morele verplichting ten aanzien van hun gevallen kameraden. Van bij hun terugkeer zouden de oud-strijders zich als een bijzonder aanwezige en strijdlustige groep ontpoppen, die het Belgische establishment zowel in de dorps- als in de Wetstraat regelmatig kopzorgen bezorgde. De geschiedenis van hun gevecht tussen beide wereldoorlogen bleef tot nu toe grotendeels ongeschreven. In dit boek wordt de strijd van de Belgische oud-strijders voor erkenning van hun rechten, sociale rechtvaardigheid en bescherming van hun vaderland weer tot leven gewekt

Abstract

The British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) designed 140 cemeteries in the countryside of Flanders and northern France for soldiers killed in the First World War. The cemeteries can be regarded as an imprint of the former battlefront on the map of Europe. All were designed according to principles established beforehand, based on the idea of a cathedral, church or chapel in the open air, and include uniform gravestones, a War Stone and a Cross of Sacrifice. Yet the difference in size, alignment and provenance make them all unique variations on the themes in question. The most memorable aspects are their meticulously chosen position in the landscape, the varied selection of trees and other greenery, and the architecture of the entrance and shelter buildings. In an exhaustive landscape-architectural analysis, this opulently illustrated book charts the history of the designs and reveals the underlying principle of order and variation in the architecture. All 140 cemeteries are fully documented with references to the places where they are to be found.
