Good evening,

I just thought I'd share one of the images, in watercolour, by Virton artist Nestor Outer. Although painted at the time most are based on secondhand accounts; they are evocative nonetheless:

Most of the originals are held by the local museum but there are further examples here: http://1914-18.be/?p=886

Good morning,

He also kept a diary which has been expanded and published locally, in two volumes, covering the fighting of August through the four years of occupation (including the deportations) to the liberation:
