The French writer Victor Hugo (1802-1885) is credited with the following statement: "One day, cannons will be displayed in museums, just as old instruments of torture are now, and people will marvel that such things could ever have been used." If only his vision had already become reality! Then there would be no need for the many 'Monuments to the Dead' with which villages and towns across the country commemorate their inhabitants who lost their lives in war.
