Remembrance monument, erected in 1920, in memory of the victims who died from the electric wire during the First World War. (see further information in the photo)

The Netherlands, which was not involved in the First World War, was the most obvious refuge for Belgians who wanted to escape misery and of course espionage information could also be exchanged via the Netherlands and the Germans feared that it could also be an access route for Belgian troops from Zeeland to the Yser Front... but the German government installed electrified barbed wire on the border, from Knokke to Vaals, to prevent this.
This monument is in memory of those who died trying to cross that "electrical border".
