 The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass   The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass  It takes a black sheep to stand out and say, 'Hey, I think we're headed off a cliff here!' They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path. Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality.

Propaganda postcard depicting a German officer executing British Red Cross nurse Edith Cavell, October 12, 1915.


Today 106 years ago, on October 12, 1915, British nurse Edith Cavell was executed in Brussels by German authorities for helping some 200 Allied POWs escape to the Netherlands, sparking international outcry.

Edith Louisa Cavell was born on December 4, 1865 into a religious and affluent English family near Norwich. When her father contracted a serious illness she cared for him, leading her to become a nurse after his recovery. Cavell worked all over England before being recruited to train other nurses in Brussels, Belgium, in 1907.

In August 1914, Belgium was invaded by Germany, who occupied their capital Brussels on August 20, and Cavell's hospital was taken over by the Red Cross. Beginning in November 1914, while tending to wounded soldiers of all nationalities, Cavell began assisting British, French and Belgian POWs with escaping to the neutral Netherlands.

As a British nurse in Brussels, some believe Cavell became a British Secret Intelligence Service agent, and was part of a network of people with the goal of helping Allied POWs escape the occupied Belgium. Apart from overhearing and reporting German conversations at the hospital, Cavell sheltered Allied POWs and others and gave them money so they could reach the Dutch border.

In June 1915, a German agent infiltrated the network, leading to the arrest of Edith Cavell on August 3, 1915. Cavell admitted to helping 60 British, 15 French and over 100 French and Belgian men of military age to escape Belgium.

Cavell was put in prison for 10 weeks before being sentenced to death for war treason. The British government protested the sentence but could do nothing to save her.

At 7 AM on October 12, 1915, Edith Cavell was executed by a German firing squad and her body was buried next to her prison.
