    The soldiers of the British 49th Infantry Division wear a distinctive badge: a stylized polar bear on an ice floe. The division is therefore nicknamed Polar Bears. The emblem refers to her stationing in Iceland at the beginning of the Second World War. The Polar Bears play an important role in the liberation of the Noorderkempen.

    A nice Memorial to the 4th Armored Division & Canadian 2nd Infantery Division and the 'The Polar Bears - 49th Infantery Division.
    Witness this...
    A Wreck...
    Motionless in the field.
    Witness to a past.
    It whispers quietly...
    The story of those who set us free.
    Young Canadian and English men
    It calls us...
    Be thankful for 75 years of peace.
