EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant memorial stands as a testament to the sacrifice of Antonio Goncalves Curado, the first Portuguese soldier to lose his life in action during the Great War. The memorial, located in Flanders, Belgium, honors the memory of Curado, who was a member of the 28th Infantry Regiment and the 12th Company. He tragically met his end on 4 April 1917, making him the first Portuguese fatality in the First World War. Curado, born in 1894, was a brave and dedicated soldier who answered the call to defend his country and the world during a time of great turmoil. His remains were eventually returned to Portugal in 1929, where he was laid to rest with full military honors. The memorial, which features a cross and the inscription "R.I.P. Antonio Goncalves Curado," serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Curado during the First World War. The memorial also symbolizes the enduring bond between Portugal and Belgium, two nations united in their shared history and commitment to peace and freedom. This image captures the solemn and reflective atmosphere surrounding the memorial, inviting us to pause and remember the sacrifices made by Curado and the countless other soldiers who gave their lives in the name of peace and freedom during the First World War.
