“As a result of civilian resistance in the Franc-Prussian war of 1870, the German army in 1914 acted under a draconian code of how to treat civilians. It is now clear that German soldiers, experiencing combat for the first time, often mistook friendly fire for sniper attacks. Frustrated by a stronger Belgian resistance than anticipated, the German military responded with a series of reprisals that were far worse than the accusations of British propaganda. In this time of Great War remembrance individuals should reflect on the fate of millions of nameless civilians. Many nations now salute the Unknown Soldier with a tomb; I do not believe that any nation involved has honored the Unknown Civilian.”
