The following sentence has been handed down from the French author Victor Hugo (1802 to 1885): "One day, people will see cannons exhibited in museums, just as they now have old torture instruments, and they will be amazed that such things could once have been in use." If this vision of his had become reality, there would be no need for the many 'Monuments aux Morts' with which villages and towns commemorate their inhabitants who lost their lives in war.
