Service of commemoration for the members of the Belgian Armed Forces
On Sunday 24th September, there will be a service of commemoration for the members of the Belgian Armed Forces that were based in and around Tenby during World War II and their descendants
The Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed, Ms Sara Edwards will be in attendance and the Belgian delegation will be headed up by Lt. Gen. Marc Thys, who was, until recently, the Belgian Vice Chief of Defence.
The service will honour those Belgian personnel that escaped mainland Europe in 1940 and afterwards.
The Belgian military headquarters was located in Tenby at the Atlantic Hotel, with troops being billeted in the town, surrounding villages and at Penally Camp.
The bulk of these forces later became the Brigade Piron which was attached, in August 1944, to the 6th UK Division and subsequently engaged in the Liberation of Brussels.
We will also recognise the intrepid Belgians who chose to serve in the wartime Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force, Commando Forces and other special forces.
The service will take place at St Mary’s Church, Tenby and at the nearby War Memorial, where a commemorative plaque will be unveiled, and wreaths laid.
Tenby Town Council have lots of Belgian waving flags so that people can line the route of the parade from St Mary’s to the War Memorial.
