History
Residents of Wytschaete as a Soldier
At the beginning of the war there were also soldiers from Wytschaete involved in the defence of the forts of Liege,Antwerp and later the Iron. Many of them were killed on the battlefield. I have a few of found in the golden Books of Fire Card, some with pictures. Here I made a list of them and placed in alphabetical order as a tribute to them.| NAME | FIRST NAME | GRADE | REGIMENT | MEDALS | FRONT STRIPES | INJURED STRIPES | NESTEL | PHOTO |
