About
The Brothers In Arms Memorial Park wants to commemorate all pairs of brothers and sisters who fought together in de First World War and of whom at least 1 was killed during the war. The memorial park also intends to have people reflecting on the impact of war on families worldwide.
The Team behind the memorial park
When in 2006 five Australian soldiers were exhumed, amateur archaeologist Johan Vandewalle immediately understood that the fifth body would tell a remarkable story. At that moment Johan decided to find out the life's story of the person later identified as John Hunter.
What was one man's dream, became a whole group's passion.
The story of the Brothers-In-Arms, John and Jim Hunter, did not only move Johan Vandewalle and his excavation team. A group of World War I enthusiasts, consisting of battlefield guides, (amateur) historians and military history writers, were so inspired by the story that they decided to start a non-profit organization to help build the dream.
