Monument Cheratte-Bas

At the Cheratte-Bas cemetery, there is a monument commemorating the civilians and soldiers from Cheratte who died during both world wars.

Commemorated from World War I:

DEUSE François, age 21, born in Cheratte, soldier in the 13th Line Regiment, killed in action in Ramskapelle on October 4, 1915.

FRAIKIN Jacques, age 27, from Cheratte, brigadier in the Artillerie de Fortresse de Liège (A.F.L.), died in captivity in Rubeland (Germany) on September 17, 1918.

LONNEUX Guillaume, age 38, born in Cheratte, soldier in the 5th Line Regiment, died of paralysis sustained in battle, in the hospital in Liège on February 26, 1919.

MOUNARD Victor, no further details found.

PIRON Jacques, age 23, born in Cheratte, soldier in the 12th Line Regiment, missing in action at Breedonk since September 29, 1914.

RANDANXHE Henri, age 36, born in Cheratte, second lieutenant in the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment (R.A.L.), died of probable Spanish flu on November 7, 1918, in the Belgian Military Hospital Cabour in Sint-Michels, four days before the armistice.

Unfortunately, the names of the soldiers and civilians who died in World War II have weathered and are therefore difficult to read.
