War for Peace/Museum Romagne 14-18
A war museum with a message of peace
The First World War of 1914-1918 claimed millions of victims. Hundreds of square miles of territory were destroyed. Entire villages were wiped out and never rebuilt. Millions of men were away from home for years fighting for their homeland.
On the home front and in the occupied villages, women kept society going as best they could. But even at the front, life went on. Behind the trenches, people ate and drank, soldiers made music. They wrote letters home, made new friendships in the field hospital.
War for Peace/Museum Romagne 14 -18 is exhibiting an extensive collection of personal objects from WWI. Owner Jean-Paul de Vries found these in the fields, forests, gardens and barns around Romagne-sous-Montfaucon.
Education is a very important part of his life's work. Many schools find their annual way to Romagne. Jean-Paul takes the students into the field to tell his stories. His field trips leave a lasting impression and are inseparable from his museum and the message of peace he wants to spread. Because that is what War for Peace/Museum Romagne 14-18 is: a war museum with a message of peace.
