The association
A group of friends with a passion for history
We are military vehicle collectors, re-enactors and authors of books on the Battle of the Bulge. Our members come from Manhay, Rendeux, Erezée, Vielsalm, the Liège area, Brussels, Flanders and even France.
When our elders and the witnesses of the war are gone, only history enthusiasts, re-enactment groups and vehicle collectors will remain to keep the duty of remembrance alive. That is the primary purpose of our association.
