The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The unit, stationed in Orne, Normandy, France, consisted of 10 Flemish soldiers placed in the unit in 1918 as punishment for their active or passive involvement in the Flemish Movement.
- Fearing that the soldiers would desert to the Central Powers if they were sent to the front line, they were instead kept in France to work as woodchoppers.
- The soldiers worked for 12 hours a day in harsh living conditions.
