On 21 October 1984, during the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Wuustwezel, this monument was inaugurated.
Here the German counterattack was stopped by The 49 West Riding Infantry Division. Every year around 21 October a ceremony is held to commemorate the victims.
In 2009, the Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft gun from 1943 was placed at the monument. It is a gift from the Polar Bear Association and was dedicated to the founder of this organisation and honorary citizen of Wuustwezel Harry Con.
