Memorial Fallen 14th Artillierie

In the military camp of Lombardsijde there are nine monuments that pay tribute to regiments of the Belgian army and their fallen men.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Belgium started closing its barracks in West Germany. After their move, some regiments were housed in Lombardsijde, where most were later disbanded. The monuments in the camp are the last reminders of a piece of Belgian military history.

The memorial to the 14th Artillery commemorates the fallen of the regiment during WWI and WWII with two bronze plates bearing the names of the victims.
The monument has always followed the path of the regiment and then stood in:
Barracks Rollin in Etterbeek
Houthulst quarter in Werl (BSD)
Quarter Lt. Coppens in Spich (BSD)
From May 1991 it has been in the Camp of Lombardsijde
