Elewijt Schiplakenbos

Description

Nel bosco di Schiplaken e nei suoi dintorni si combatté la cruenta battaglia di Schiplaken durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Questa battaglia viene descritta in modo agghiacciante nel libro di Stefan Hertmans, Guerra e Terpentino: "Si alzò il richiamo nel profondo del bosco. Ovunque uomini si rialzavano con difficoltà, come golem che si staccavano dall'argilla, barcollando sui corpi dei loro compagni morti. Tremando, intorpiditi, rigidi per il dolore alla schiena e con croste di fango sulle nostre uniformi, stavamo in una fila disordinata, mezzo appoggiati ai nostri fucili. L'assedio sembrava infranto, era un mistero come fosse potuto accadere. A quanto pare i tedeschi avevano altre preoccupazioni rispetto al nostro secondo reggimento di linea. Lasciammo il bosco con cautela, in file di cinque e per battaglione."
