The Two at Pervyse with Shot the dog memorial, Ypres
This memorial is in the garden of the Ariane Hotel in Ypres. The Two is the title given to two extrordinary British laidies, Elsie Knocker and Mairie Chisholm, who came out to Belgium and set up medical facilities in the town of Pervyse in support of the Belgian Army. Their biographer, Diane Atkinson, moved to have a memorial statue set up in Pervyse, but the town refused. Natasha, proprietor of the Ariane Hotel, a favorite lodging place for British visitors to Ypres, offered to have the statue in the gardens. Both ladies are sitting on a sandbag wall with their dog, Shot, in the foreground. Date: 2015
