Local

Since the war ended, a lot of books have been written and published about the war events in Belgium in the period 1940-1945. However, we would like to focus our attention on a local war event that caused some commotion in the usually peaceful Roksem. On November 9th, 1941, a bomber of the Royal Canadian air Force crashed not far West of the historical “Zeeweg” at the cost of the life of a crew of four.

The German artillery had been a direct hit.
