We French like to make fun of our Belgian neighbors from time to time (and they repay us) but they will always have our absolute respect for their bravery during WW1.

We in the North always make fun of each other but if shit hits the fan, we will do everything possible for each other!

this always was a good song. also, the king of Belgium also you know fought right at the front lines with the troops his wife was nurse, and their son was a message runner. but sadly he died in 1934 from a climbing accident. also another cool thing was shortly after war in 23 September through 13 November 1919, King Albert, Queen Elisabeth of Bavaria, and their son Prince Leopold made an official visit to the United States. King Albert and his party arrived in New York City on October 2.[9] The party would then proceed to visit several sites in the Eastern United States including Boston and Niagara Falls, before heading to the Western United States.[10] King Albert and his party arrived in California on October 10.[11] Upon arrival in Sacramento, the King awarded the Order of Leopold II to the engineer who was on board the King's special train. During his brief stay in Sacramento thousands came to see the Belgian royals, with mothers even holding out their babies for the King to kiss.[11] During a visit of the historic Native American pueblo of Isleta Pueblo, New Mexico, King Albert decorated Father Anton Docher with Knight in the Order of Leopold II.[12] Docher offered the King a turquoise cross mounted in silver made by the Tiwas Indians.[13][14] Ten thousand people travelled to Isleta for this occasion. That same year he was elected an honorary member of the New York Society of the Cincinnati. In New York, the King received a ticker tape parade in his honor. The visit was considered a success by the Belgian authorities. got that from the internet.

I'd never heard of this story, it's fascinating! You made me discover the character of Anton Docher, on his Wikipedia page you can see him in the company of the Belgian royal couple. Thank you for sharing it with me!

Belgium never fell! Love this song. Apart from "Christmas Truce", it is either this or "Dreadnought" that is my favourite from this album.

Great reaction, this is indeed a great song. Can you imagine the crowd in Belgium when they play this one live??? They even premiered it at Graspop 2022 and I was there🤘 May I make a suggestion for another Belgian song, Resist and Bite. It is also the motto for the Belgian fanclub, The Boar Battalion. Another great song is The Price of a Mile about Passendaele. Greetings from Belgium.

also another cool thing about turquoise is that also known as the Protection stone. that's why you see North America Indians have turquoise in their things they make.
