Madam, - The report on the official opening of the Mayo Peace Park in your edition of October 8th failed to convey the symbolism of the event and omitted some key facts.
The countries with which Irishmen and Irishwomen were involved during the first and second World Wars - often making the ultimate sacrifice - were not only represented by the Australian ambassador, but also by the British, Canadian and Belgian ambassadors. Germany, the United States and France were also represented by their embassies. - Yours, etc,
ROBERT DEVRIESE, Ambassador of Belgium, Dublin.
