War memorial on Linkebeek's central square. Among many other myths fueling community resentment, there is that of the Flemish soldiers having to obey orders they were unable to understand, condemning them to suffer the consequences in battle. However, although higher officials came from aristocratic and middle-class French-speaking families who despised local Flemish dialects, field officials spoke perfectly well the language of the people. This 1920 invention shows the Flemish population's need for social revenge. |
