Friday 12th January 2024 a remembrance ceremony took place for resistance fighter Walthère Dewé, the head of the “Dame Blanche” Network. 

Walthère Dewé was, during the First World War, the Director of Telephones of Liège and head of the clandestine intelligence network “La Dame Blanche” or “The White Lady”. He was one of the most significant figures of the Belgian resistance and died January 14, 1944 while participating in a rescue operation of one of the members of his resistance network renamed “Clarence” at that time.

A colossal statue of the White Lady, with her finger over her mouth to symbolize the secrecy of the clandestine intelligence services, and a commemorative chapel pays tribute to this figure of the Belgian resistance.
