But with the outbreak of the war, the name became to some a symbol of the enemy. The camâ€" paign grew until the name was changed to celebrate a British war hero. The two communities wrestled for control of city council throughâ€" out the war. When a name change seemed imminent, a group of councillors approached Waterloo and asked them to merge with Berlin under the Waterloo name. Waterloo voters turned down that dent of First World War was the agitation by some to change Berâ€" lin‘s name. Berlin, of course, was a symbol of quality when stamped whether in Germany or the Twin Netherlands, and received a herâ€" o‘s welcome. The Regiment has been invited back to celebrate next year, but Furzer said he cannot afford to go. Today, he deliberately avoids thinking about the horrors of that war.

But looking back at the "Great War" of 1914â€"1918, Bitzer said he learned some things from his experiences. "I realized all wars were trade wars. It wasn‘t a war for freedom of speech or anything like that. It was purely a war partly because they were preâ€" pared for it, and partly because former Berlin resident William ‘l‘nllhndgnundulundmgoftho munity had a much easier time of it in the Second World War â€" all of a sudden they‘re not there no more.
