The Yves-Gomezée Remembrance Committee is organizing the traditional Tour des Croix in Yves-Gomezée on Saturday, October 24, 2026, starting at 9:30 AM, a commemoration dedicated to the memory of those who defended freedom.

The meeting point is at the home of Léon and Jean-Claude Mouny. This moment of reflection will pay tribute to those who lost their lives for freedom. The route will visit several significant memorial sites.
Several tributes are planned: on Rue du Voyau, in memory of two French soldiers fallen in combat; a tribute to Jean Grosset, a resistance fighter during World War II; at the Croix des Raidons, for the memory of a civilian and another resistance fighter; and finally, at the Yves-Gomezée cemetery, at the grave of Jean Watrisse, a soldier who fell during the Korean War.
This commemoration, organized with the support of the City of Walcourt, will take place in the presence of representatives from patriotic associations. The duty of remembrance is considered essential, and the sacrifice of these men must never be forgotten.
Participation is open to everyone. The organization invites the public to join them for this moment of remembrance and fraternity.
