War Memorial Berchem Cemetery

At the entrance of the Royal Avenue, a war memorial is placed on perk 3 for the victims of both World Wars.
In the center of the bluestone wall with the mention "1914-1918" "1940-1945" a panel has been worked out with the names of the fallen, and at the top the coat of arms of Berchem.
On the other hand, there is a restriction for the fallen of the Second World War, originally with concrete stelae that have now been replaced by birch trees due to damage by concrete rot.
