Personal note

This is a very small museum but the museum owner, your personnal guide helps a lot to make you understand the origin of each collectible/piece of equipment. There are lots of memorials in the museum area namely one dedicated to Lieutenant Cook (the first US soldier who died in Belgium) with a M47 Patton tank.
