EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Tribute to Gratitude: The Unveiling of the Anglo-Belgian War Memorial on the Victoria Embankment, London, 12th October 1920" The poignant scene on the Victoria Embankment in London on 12th October 1920 marked the unveiling of the Anglo-Belgian War Memorial. The memorial, a poignant tribute of gratitude from the Belgian people to the British nation, commemorated the fifth anniversary of the tragic shooting of Edith Cavell in Brussels during World War I. Princess Clementine of Belgium, with a solemn expression, performed the honors of unveiling the memorial before a large crowd. The memorial, a collaborative effort between Belgian sculptor Victor Rousseau and British architect Reginald Blomfield, was a fitting symbol of unity and friendship between the two nations. The memorial, in the form of two sculptures, depicted a British soldier and a Belgian civilian, their hands extended in a gesture of peace and unity. The design was inspired by the heroic actions of Edith Cavell, a British nurse who sheltered Allied soldiers in her home during the war and was subsequently executed by the Germans. The unveiling ceremony was presided over by Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary, and was a significant moment in the history of Anglo-Belgian relations. The event was marked by solemn speeches, the laying of wreaths, and the playing of the national anthems of both countries. The Anglo-Belgian War Memorial stands as a testament to the enduring bond between the two nations, a bond forged in the crucible of war and strengthened by mutual respect and gratitude. The memorial continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War.
