Due soldati avversari caduti nella Grande Guerra, uno britannico e uno tedesco, sepolti insieme nel cimitero di Poelcapelle. Sono stati trovati nello stesso cratere della conchiglia.

Living in flanders and have often visited the cemeteries of the great war, I am always left so sad at the waste of so many young mens lives. I only wish humans were incapable of hate.
A little bit strange the comparison of the two inscriptions. The english version is kind of descriptive. The german is already feeding a bit in the post great war propaganda
„An unknown soldier fallen for Germany“
That sentence carries a way different message in German than it meets the eye. In Germany after the first but way more after the second ww the „unknown soldier“ theme is used by conservative to far right propaganda as a valid excuse to mix giving credit to those who served and have fallen with the feeling of owing the fallen to carry on their fight. Espacially the phrase „for Germany“ emphasizes this part, since the idea of a unified Germany was then a major part in remilitarization and opposing the peace treaties made.
Tldr: For me as a German the essamble of this monument that should overall mourn for peace feel like already incubating the roots for the german aggression of the second world war.
Dying for profit, only a tiny minority actually benefit from war.
Same old story, Humans killing Humans.
