Inscription present: in two columns

  • Text: Dans la parcelle de territoire que lui a laissée l'ennemi, le peuple belge se défend avec une suprême énergie / et donne des leçons terribles à son rude adversaire. Les soldats belges ont confiance, ils savent qu'ils chasseront / les Allemandes et leur livrent une lutte opiniâtre et meurent plutôt que de leur abandonner le terrain reconquit. / Le monde entier a les yeux fixés sur ce coin de terre et le considère avec admiration. Rien égale / en effet la beauté de ces vaillants soldats et de leur chef, le roi ALBERT, cette noble figure / qui représente l'âme de la nation belge (Novembre 1914).
