Memorial Herdersem

In the Church of Our Lady Assumption in Herdersem there is a memorial:
"In blessed and glorious memory of our heroes who died for the fatherland" in the First World War. The names of the fallen are listed below.

On the marble slab at the bottom are the texts:
"O mother, do not weep
in the lonely house
Your child died
in the arms of the Cross"

"O Cross, planted in the blood
of our heroes,
Always protect and bless
our Fatherland"
