Murmuration / Elsie Mabel Gladstone

Description

Réalisée dans la Rue Nanon, non loin d'une autre fresque du même artiste. Il s'agit ici d'un hommage à Elsie Mabel Gladstone, infirmière britannique de la première guerre mondiale qui consacra sa vie au soin des soldats blessés et malades. En soignant inlassablement les victimes de la grippe espagnole, elle contracta cette maladie qui lui fut fatale le 24 janvier 1919, à l'âge de 32 ans. Inhumée avec les honneurs au cimetière de Belgrade près de Namur, elle représente les 373 infirmières du Commonwealth qui donnèrent leur vie en soignant les soldats venus combattre aux côtés de la Belgique.

Les habitantes et habitants du quartier ont pu choisir parmi trois propositions de l'artiste.

Located on Rue Nanon, not far from another mural by the same artist. This is a tribute to Elsie Mabel Gladstone, a British nurse during the First World War who devoted her life to caring for wounded and sick soldiers. Whilst tirelessly caring for victims of the Spanish flu, she contracted the disease herself and died on 24 January 1919, aged 32. Buried with full honours at the Belgrade Cemetery near Namur, she represents the 373 Commonwealth nurses who gave their lives whilst caring for soldiers who had come to fight alongside Belgium.

Local residents were able to choose from three proposals put forward by the artist.
