On the 22 December 1918, L/Cpl William Scotton of the 140th Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps wrote to his wife " Emily Dearest This is the Nurse Cavell memorial in Brussels; it’s only a temporary affair in plaster; but a permanent one in Marble will be sculptured later on.

  • EDITH CAVELL De Problematische Representatie Van Een Oorlogsheldin
    | 23 Christjan Knijff EDITH CAVELL De problematische representatie van een oorlogsheldin De Eerste Wereldoorlog staat bij velen in de herinnering als een zinloze strijd, waarin legers elkaar probeerden af te matten in de loopgraven in België en Noord-Frankrijk. Honderdduizenden soldaten gaven hun leven om een klein stuk niemandsland terug te veroveren op de vijand, terwijl de politieke en mili- taire leiders op een veilige afstand de uitputtingsslag gadesloegen. Uiteindelijk zou de Eerste Wereldoorlog slechts een voorbode zijn geweest voor wat de we- reld later te wachten stond toen Hitler zijn expansionistische politiek in praktijk ging brengen. De Tweede Wereldoorlog betekende in vergelijking met de Eerste een duidelijke ideologische strijd. De geallieerden hadden de opdracht om ‘het kwaad’ te verslaan, omdat de vrijheid van miljoenen burgers in het geding was. De onduidelijke aanleiding van de Eerste Wereldoorlog heeft geleid tot een verregaande simplificatie, waarbij vele gebeurtenissen in de vergetelheid zijn geraakt. Eén van die gebeurtenissen is de executie van de Britse Edith Cavell. Deze vijftigjarige verpleegster had de leiding over een Belgische verpleegsters- school in Brussel, toen Duitsland de stad veroverde in zijn poging om Frankrijk te verslaan. Tijdens de Duitse bezetting van België functioneerde de school van Cavell als onderduikadres voor voortvluchtige geallieerde soldaten. De verzets- organisatie waartoe Cavell behoorde, bood deze soldaten de mogelijkheid om via de school te ontsnappen naar het neutrale Nederland. Al in de zomer van 1915 ontmantelden de Duitsers de organisatie, waarna een rechtszaak werd aangespannen tegen de vijfendertig betrokkenen. Negen van de vermeende kopstukken, onder wie Cavell, kregen de doodstraf opgelegd. Na de uitspraak probeerden ambassadeurs van neutrale landen zonder succes de Duitsers tot inkeer te brengen.
