Memorial 5th Regiment of Lancers

The 5th Regiment of Lancers played a significant role in breaking the German cavalry’s storm attack in this area during the Battle of the Silver Helmets on 12 August 1914.
Before 1924, there was a small cemetery here with the remains of 16 Belgian soldiers who lost their lives. Later, these remains were transferred to the Belgian military cemetery of Halen.
