Museum of the Battle of La Roche-en-Ardenne.
This museum will impress you with its important WWII collections. Three floors of equipment, weapons, clothing and relics that belonged to soldiers of the American, British, German and Belgian armies are to be discovered!
This distinguishes us ...
The Museum of the Battle of the Bulge is the only museum with a British section. Of course, American and German troops and their respective armament are well represented there in attractive dioramas. But the museum's mission is to focus on the role of the British in the Allied counter-offensive from 3 to 16 January 1945 and the liberation of the villages on the left bank of the Ourthe. British veterans have also felt and appreciated the museum's effort to give them a fair view and come back regularly to visit La Roche. Veterans of the regiments involved in the liberation of the city donated equipment and uniforms to the museum, which can be found on the museum's first floor. Among the important pieces of the museum are: - The combat jacket of Lieutenant Colonel Cathhaert, commander of the 7th Black Watch Battalion of the 51st Highland Division that liberated the city of La Roche-en-Ardenne on January 11, 1945. - The combat jacket of Lieutenant Colonel Lord George Scott, second in command of the 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry Regiment supporting the 51st Highland Division during the liberation of the town of La Roche-en-Ardenne on 11 January 1945.
