Edward and Frans took part in an attack on German positions at Stampkot. After the attack, Frans did not return, whereupon Edward – against orders – decided to go and look for him. A few weeks later their bodies were found, together with that of the Walloon corporal Amé Fiévez, who was also missing.
This tragic event became a powerful symbol within the Flemish Movement and was immortalized in the pen drawing "Broederliefde" by Joe English.

Having died in each other's arms, their deaths in Flanders were also elevated to a symbol of brotherly love.
