註釋Kenneth Powell, Ronald Harcourt Sanderson, Alex Decoteau, Hanns Braun, James Duffy ... During the Olympic Games of 1908 and 1912, these sport idols of their generation competed on the sports field. And then the starting shot of the First World War sounded. Many of them did not reach the end measurement in 1918. This book, interspersed with photos by Francis Vanhee, tells the life story of 16 of these top athletes. From rider to rower, from archer to fencer : the fascinating look back on their sporting career is in stark contrast to the austere description of their experiences and their death on the Flemish battlefields.
