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.
