    In the autumn of 1944, the Canadians liberated the municipalities south of the Leopold Canal in the Battle of the Leopold Canal. On October 6, the soldiers of the 7th Canadian Infantry Division started the construction of a "Bailey bridge" over the Leopold Canal between Maldegem and Sint-Laureins. The bridge in question is probably one of the last remaining and still in use Bailey bridges from the Second World War.
