Wow fact! By January 1945, some 90,000 French, Belgian & Dutch civilians were employed by British 21st Army Group mostly around Brussels, of whom half were employed in workshops. Another 14,000 were used at the port of Antwerp. #wehaveways

Cheeky visit to the Mudchute Ack Ack battery, now a farm & park. The four gun emplacements protected the nearby docklands in WWII. 3 of the 4 concrete gun sites are enclosures for livestock. 1 has a 3.7 inch gun.
