Adjacent Casualties Chateau Fontaine Liberators Regimental Sold There Visited 15th 16th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the serene beauty of Fontaine Henry Church in Belgium, with its adjacent 15th/16th century chateau standing proudly in the background. The church, located in the picturesque village of La Roche-en-Ardenne, holds a significant historical connection to Canada. The Canadian Casualties Memorial, visible in the church's car park, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers during the liberation of Belgium in World War II. The memorial honors the memory of the Canadian servicemen who lost their lives during the Battle of the Ardennes, also known as the Battle of the Bulge, which took place from December 1944 to January 1945. The chateau, which can be visited, has never been sold and remains an important part of the community's history. Its grandeur and historical significance stand in stark contrast to the solemn memorial just a stone's throw away. The juxtaposition of the two structures serves as a powerful reminder of the past and the importance of preserving history. The regimental memorial, dedicated to the Canadian liberators, adds to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the area. The church and its surroundings offer a peaceful and reflective space for visitors to pay their respects and honor the sacrifices made by the Canadian soldiers during the war.
