During the Second World War, Geel had a hard time, especially during the Battle of Geel. This battle between British and German forces took place between 8 and 23 September 1944 and was by far the most bloody and fierce battle during the liberation. On September 13, 1944, the German troops withdrew behind the Kempen canal and into the Geelse sub-village of Ten Aard. This village was fought hard until its final withdrawal on September 23.

The military cemetery in Geel is a cemetery for British and Canadian soldiers who died during the crossing of the Scheldt-Maas canal and during later operations by the Second British Army.

History
During the Allied Liberation Offensive of 1944, there was heavy fighting in the Geel area, when in September an attempt was made to cross the Albert Canal and the Maas-Scheldt Canal (Kempian Canal). This crossing was necessary for the liberation of the Netherlands. The '50th (Northumbrian) Division and the '15th (Scottish) Division' in particular suffered heavy losses in the Geel area.
