Krijgsgevangene Cyrille Baeck

21 Items

Drie medailles, doodsbrief van Cyrille Braeck en een reeks postkaarten. || Cyrillus Baeck (°Kontich 19 november 1888 + Mortsel 14 augustus 1971). Tijdens de eerste wereldoorlog was hij onderofficier. Zijn regiment dat ten strijde trok vanuit Schaarbeek, werd gevangen genomen in de omgeving van Namen en van daaruit moesten zij, meestal te voet, naar Munster in West Falen (fotoalbum). Cyrille Baeck was als sportman een bekend schermmeester. Op een der foto's uit het krijgsgevangenkamp is hij te zien tijdens het hoogspringen. Na de oorlog werd hij gevraagd om als schermmeester les te geven aan de universiteit van Yale (USA), wat echter omwille van familiale omstandigheden niet is doorgegaan. De moeder van Cyrille Baeck, weduwe Anna De Caesteker, werd door koning Albert I met een ereteken vereerd, daar zij vier zonen aan het front had, dewelke allen als invalide de oorlog overleefden.
