South Alberta Regiment Memorial

This plaque is located near the entrance of the 'Strijdershuis'.

The South Alberta Regiment offered in September 1999 this plaque with the following text:

The South Alberta Regiment (SAR), 29th Cdn Amr'd Recce Reg't, part of 4th Cdn Amr'd Div, after leaving the area of the Falais Gap in Normandy were assigned the task of clearing the channel ports to Ostend, seizing Brugge and crossing of the Brugge/Ghent Canal. The Belgian BDE was under command of the Cdn Amry during that campaign.
The SAR's salute the citizens of Brugge for their wartime support and their care of our war dead buried at nearby Adegem Cemetery and the veterans of the Belgian BDE who helped in clearing the enemy from Belgian soil.
These actions have established a special bond with the Belgian people which the SAR always cherish.
