A Duvel, Please
... Wervik where Uncle and Aunty voted in the municipal election. It is mandatory for the Belgians to vote; I don't know what the repercussions are if they don't.

As a result, for 3 years both sides fought over Ieper, until they were fighting over nothing but bones. Almost no building were left standing, and what stood could hardly be called buildings. Through many years and much money from ...
