PhilB Posted 24 December , 2004 Share Posted 24 December , 2004 The following appears on the IWM site:- The disquieting image of a gruesome leering skeleton, personification of Death, vigorously pumping the lifeblood of Europe's manhood into a scorched and ruined earth, used by Walther Eberbach in his satirical medallion 'Verdun die Weltblutpumpe' was as relevant to British military experience in Picardy in the summer of 1916 as it was to the ordeals of the massive conscript armies of France and Germany. Has anyone seen one of these come up for sale? Did the British do any similar satirical artwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Holstein Posted 24 December , 2004 Share Posted 24 December , 2004 The only one I've ever seen is in Fleury Memorial. I've certainly never seen one for sale. Wouldn't mind if I did, though. Christina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
