War Memorial flémalle-Grande

On the Rue des Hospitaliers is a small cemetery on which this monument is located. In some cases, the soldiers were buried under such a monument. It is not certain if that is the case here. The archival records on this subject have been destroyed.

The monument commemorates the fallen soldiers from Flémalle-Grande.
