Infantry Memorial

The Belgian Infantry Memorial in Brussels honors the foot soldiers who fought for their country in World War I and World War II. Designed by Edouard Vereycken, the monument stands in front of the Palace of Justice and across from the Anglo-Belgian War Memorial on Place Poelaert. It rests on a raised platform that offers sweeping views over central Brussels. The memorial's inscription commemorates the infantrymen who gave their lives for their homeland. As a central place of mourning and remembrance in the capital, it serves as an important historical landmark for visitors who want to learn more about Belgium's military history.
