The brothers Van Raemdonck, Edward and Frans, came from Temse and became a symbol of brotherly love in Flanders. They were both sergeants of the 6th company of the 24th Linieregiment. Edward and Frans died on the night of 25 and 26 March 1917 after an attack on the Stampkot at Steenstrate, the spot where a monument was erected for them later on. The monument was constructed out of concrete blocks that came from the Stampkot. The brothers lay buried in the IJzertoren (the Yser Tower, named after the river Yser).
