War Memorial Capuchin Ciney

There is a calvary at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, known as the Capuchin Church. A Capuchin Father embraces the dead body of the crucified Christ.
Below it hangs a picture:
"Patriot memorial
our dead
and our martyrs
14-18 40-45"

In 2010, the students of the 5th and 6th grades placed a thank you plaque on the wall under the calvary with text, drawings and their names.

Left: "Martyrs,
thank you for sacrificing yourself for us.
You fought ruthlessly and courageously
during the two wars."

Right: "We patriots
will never forget your sacrifices.
It is because of your actions that we are alive today
in a free country.
Let us honor the civilian victims of these wars,
the martyrs of the Jewish people, not forgotten"
