NL: In deze beeldengroep zijn Limburgse soldaten,
lotgenoten in hetzelfde werelddrama 1914-1918, sterk verenigd.
Gezwicht onder de last,
verwond door oorlogsgeweld,
vernederd, verlaten, verwijderd van iedereen,
samen en toch alleen gestorven in die gruwelijke wereldbrand.
Frans Kusters blijft rechtop nog Vlaamse fierheid uitstralen.

Het is een werk van kunstenaar François Joré.


EN: In this sculpture group are Limburg soldiers,
fellow sufferers in the same world drama 1914-1918, strongly united.
Gone under the burden,
wounded by war violence,
humiliated, abandoned, removed from everyone,
together and yet died alone in that horrific world fire.
Frans Kusters upright still radiates Flemish pride.

It is a work by artist François Joré.
