Mijn vader heeft in WWII bij de 6e brigade infanterie gediend (3de Fuseliers) en later was hij ingedeeld bij de Artillerie.
Van de badge op foto vind ik nergens terug van welke eenheid die was.
Kan iemand van jullie er me meer over vertellen ?

Beste,
=> Betreft de mouwbadge van het 3° Bataljon Fusiliers.
=> The 3rd Fuselier Battalion was raised at Hasselt, Belgium, on October 11 1944.
On December 12 1944 the battalion came under the operational command of the 21st Army Group.
After 3 months of guard duties on the Lines of Communications in Belgium,
the battalion followed the 2nd British Army on its advance into Nazi Germany.
The battalion crossed the Rhine on March 13 1945.
After cleaning-up operations in Germany, where more then 3.000 prisoners were made by the battalion,
it returned to Belgium on May 1st 1945.
On June 10th 1945 the 3rd Fuselier Battalion became
the 3rd Battalion of the 6th Infantry Brigade "DEYNZE".
Groeten,
Nick
