Geluwe, like the other towns we have visited, was occupied by the Germans for most of the First World War, and, again like the others, was totally destroyed during the course of it.
The majority of the names inscribed on the war memorial are First World War casualties; all but two of the Second World War names are civilians.

Strange and doubtless meaningful sculpture.
