  poor Alsace, torn between France and Germany between 1870 and WWII. In various periods, Germans and French each oppressed the other. It declared independence for 11 days after the Armistice only to be occupied by French troops yet again and went through a period of Frankification and expulsion of Germans. Like Quebec, some regions had comfortably had signs in both French and German before WWI and people generally got along. It still has some legal differences distinct from the rest of France. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine#During_World_War_I

  The "Strasbourg statue" could be the statue on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
  
  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde suggests that dressing the statue in mourning crepe became a tradition.

  Hector Vasyli Memorial “There is a memorial arch here that commemorates a young boy [Hector Vasyli] killed while welcoming returning soldiers from World War I on the 9th of June 1918, age 11 years. The newspaper seller was welcoming troops home when he was struck by a truck carrying World War I soldiers. This memorial was erect[ed] by the Returned Sailors & Soldiers Imperial League [RSL], Hellenic (Greek) Association and the Citizens of Brisbane.” — cosmotourist “A podium and steps were built around the arch [in 1970] and the Greek community holds an Anzac ceremony there each year.” [1]
