Google Earth Community: Square Frère-Orban, Brussels

Square Frère-Orban, named after a former Belgian prime minister and founder of the National Bank of Belgium. The file contains information and pictures for the memorials and for two of the buildings around the square. It's the kind of place it's easy to walk past or through without realising what's actually there. Frère-Orban himself may have suffered a tragic loss in his youth according to an article which appeared in the New York Times shortly after his death, but I've found no other mention of it, so it may not be true...

There's also a memorial to the Staines air disaster in England, which is placemarked here on GE.
