SteveMarsdin Posted 24 August , 2015 Share Posted 24 August , 2015 Good morning, In August 1914 the German Army killed several thousand civilians after it entered Belgium. In some small towns, such as Dinant, several hundred were killed; the village of Ethe had 211 killed, in Rossignol over 100 were taken to Arlon and shot just outside the railway station on 26 August. In recognition of them all, please also today remember the 71 men of Latour, executed this day in 1914, two days after the fighting. At the time Latour was a small hamlet with a pre-war male population of 92: ARQUIN, Narcisse aged 19 AUTHELET, Nicolas Edouard aged 42 BESNARD, Victor Auguste aged 42 BIEUVELET, Justin aged 32 BURTON, Henri aged 56 BURTON, Victor aged 16 BURTON, Victor aged 58 CLAUDE, Alphonse aged 44 CLAUDE, Jules aged 35 CLAUSSE, Richard aged 64 COLLIGNON, Pierre Célestin aged 68 COLLIGNON, Hyacinthe aged 29 COLLIGNON, Pierre Joseph aged 40 DARGE, Alfred Camille aged 33 DOMANGE, Fernand aged 30 DUCHENE, Edmond aged 34 GLOUDEN, Maurice aged 31 GRAISSE, Francois Edouard aged 55 GRAISSE, Felix aged 34 GREGOIRE, Eugene aged 56 HALLET, Joseph aged 50 HELLOY, Emile aged 38 HEYRENDT, Irene Joseph aged 23 HEYRENDT, Victor aged 27 HUBEAUX, Arnold aged 32 JACOB, Ephrem aged 30 JACOB, Ernest aged 36 JACOB, Irene aged 31 JACOB, Jules aged 41 JACOB, Lucien aged 38 JACQUEMIN, Francois aged59 JACQUEMIN, Jean Baptiste aged 64 JACQUEMIN, Joseph aged 58 JACQUEMIN, Joseph aged 62 JACQUEMIN, Leon aged 32 JACQUES, Augustin Prosper aged 66 JOFFIN, Ernest aged 28 JOFFIN, Louis aged 15 KOLP, Joseph aged 31 KOLP, Nicolas aged 39 LALLOUETTE, Emile aged 38 LAMBERT, Adolphe Désiré aged 69 LAMBERT, Alphonse aged 32 LAMBERT, Emile aged 25 LAMBERT, Joseph aged 27 LAMBERT, Louis aged 21 LAMBERT, Pierre aged 38 LAURENT, Léopold aged 65 LAURENT, Lucien aged 34 LAVAL, Arthur aged 19 LAVAL, Charles aged 26 LAVAL, Jean Henri Joseph aged 52 LAVAL, Léopold aged 16 LIEGEOIS, Arsene aged 47 LIEGEOIS, Constant aged 38 LIEGEOIS, Isidore aged 69 LIEGEOIS, Victorien aged 35 LUCAS, Jean aged 40 MUELLE, Lucien Jules aged 20 NICOLAS, Joseph aged 55 NICOLAS, Marcel aged 29 PIERRE, Jules aged 16 PONCIN, Adolphe aged 71 REIZER, Ernest aged 31 REIZER, Victor aged 62 RICHARD, Jean Baptiste aged 53 SIMON, Henri aged 33 SIMON, Louis aged 37 THIRY, Edouard aged 42 THOMES, Jean aged 40 ZENDER, Emile Jean aged 66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil andrade Posted 29 August , 2015 Share Posted 29 August , 2015 Sixty eight men ( some barely) and three boys....... two sixteen year olds and one fifteen year old. Was this sort of indiscriminate selection of males replicated in the other massacres ? At least they were all male. Not so in many of the other atrocities, especially those in Belgium, if I'm correct. Phil (PJA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
