  • Art Siegel said:
    Max von Sandt (1861-1918) was the head of the civil administration after Germany began its occupation there in 1914 and remained until sent to Warsaw for identical duties in July, 1917, shortly before his death. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sandt fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_von_Sandt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Governorate_of_Belgium
  • Art Siegel said:
    Count Harrach (I haven't found a source for his full name and there were several Count Harrachs) appears in news accounts and memoirs as either the head of or aide to the head of the occupation government's political section.
    He was quoted as being part of an uncooperative group of German officials who blocked efforts to delay the execution of English nurse Edith Cavell, accused of spying in Brussels in October, 1915. He said he only regretted that he lacked "3 or 4 old english women to shoot."
    select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E16F63B5E1173...
    In an account by the U.S. Head of Legation to Belgium, Harrach says "The life of one German soldier seems to us much more important than that of all the old English nurses. ..." and then prevents others in the room from showing sympathy when a plea for leniency is made.

    There is a memorial to her in London;
    Edith Cavell
    and her life inspired the naming of a mountain in Canada in her memory:
    Mount Edith Cavell by the sunset

    "Dago Frank" Cirofici (Cirocici, Carofici, Cirosici) was a petty criminal in New York City convicted of murdering Herman Rosenthal with his fellow assasins Harry Horowitz "Gyp the Blood", Louis Rosenberg (Rosenweig) "Lefty Louis", and "Whitey" Lewis (Frank Seidenshner) at 1 o'clock in the morning on July 16, 1912. Herman Rosenthal had threatened to "squeal" on Lieutenant Charles Becker (NYC Police) concerning his involvement in gambling if Becker didn't remove his "strong arm squad" of police after a raid was made in early April. Herman was in the process of telling his story when Becker hired the four men and developed the plot that led to Herman's execution in front of the Hotel Metropolis on 43rd Street. The four men were executed at Sing Sing in April 13, 1914 with "Dago Frank" being the first to die. Before his death he stated that he was five miles away when the murder as committed. All four men were taken to funeral homes on the East Side after their deaths. Information taken from articles in the Syracuse Herald from 1912-1914.
