Hello this object has been treated on the forum FIM http://zitocland.forumpro.fr/les-medailles...highlight=arabe Guy

"German Atrocities: 1914- A History of Denial" by John Horne and Alan Kramer is worth reading. By the way Simon Deploige is mentioned in that book on page 40, 274, 388 see also footnotes 145 page 40 Guy

Dear Rick I'am not agree with you, when I'am citating these two works "The Germans at Louvain" by Herv? de Grubben, pr?face by Mgr. Simon Deploige, Hodder & Stoughton, London, New York, Toronto, 1916. "La voix des Neutres" by Simon Deploige, President de l'Institut Sup?rieur de Philisophie Louvain.;<librairie Plon, Paris; 1918. Simon Deploige was present In Louvain In 1914and Herv? de Grubben was one of his Studens at the University, Simon Deploige was one of the members Nobel men of Louvain when the town consil has left the town. You have to read "La voix des neutres, Espagne et Belgique" Simon Left Belgium with de Grubben at the end of 1914 and whented to Rome by order of the Belgian gouvernement to take over the work of the Belgian Ambasador by the Pope untill the half of 1915, He has olso been the precident of the rebulding of the University Library of Louvain. There works where not propaganda but the reality they lived those days. You have to read those manifests. Guy

"La voix des Neutres" by Simon Deploige, President de l'Institut Sup?rieur de Philisophie Louvain.;<librairie Plon, Paris; 1918.
