The monument on the Munkenbrug recalls the Battle of the Lys in May 1940. In 1997, the turret of an M109 Howitzer was donated by the 6th Artillery of Soest on the occasion of 30 years of affiliation with the city of Waregem. In 2007 a complete M108-Howitzer was replaced, donated by the artillery department from Brasschaat.
