Press report headlined 'Oxford college war memorial to include soldiers who fought against Britain'. (States that 'The names set to be added include German-born Carl Heinrich Hertz and Gustav Adolf Jacobi, as well as Erich Joachim Peucer, who was born in Colmar – then part of the German Empire – and died in Italy in 1917. Hungarian Paul Nicholas Esterházy, who died in 1915 in Poland, is also to be included, as is Emile Jacot, who fought in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He was wounded and died of his injuries in 1928. His place of birth is unknown'. The report also included the comment: 'The planning application said: “The First World War memorial outside the library omits those who did not serve on the British side. “This was usual at the time the memorial was erected (1921): no colleges, when they first put up their memorials, commemorated those who died fighting against the Allies, whether as a deliberate decision or because it did not occur to them. “In summary, we feel that these proposals are an appropriate and unobtrusive response to the architectural context and are justified by the need to remember all members of the college community who died in the First World War, irrespective of nationality.”). https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/oxford-college-war-memorial-to-include-soldiers-who-fought-against-britain/ar-AA1C5VlO?ocid=msedgntp&pc=ACTS&cvid=418a728fa6e841fa87d9ab04f2252171&ei=134#
