St Martins Cathedral
A memorial to the British and British Empire soldiers who died in World War I. This is one of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s ‘cathedral tablets’ placed in cathedral towns in France and Belgium where British troops were stationed in World War I and there are five in Belgium, at Brussels, Malines, Mons, Antwerp and Ypres. What is curious about this inscription in St Martin’s is that it is in English and Latin. In France, these memorials are in English and French. As Belgium is officially a triple–language country perhaps it was too much to have four translations!
