Er hingen ook foto's van #cinema 'Splendid' in #Leopoldsburg -
Cinema van 1923 -1973.

In deze bioscoop hield de britse Generaal Brian Horrocks de laatste briefing aan de bevelvoerders die van 15 tot 25 september 1944 zouden deelnemen aan Operatie #MarketGarden.

De operatie werd een mislukking, maar kreeg wel een plaats in het collectieve geheugen, mede dankzij de film "A Bridge Too Far".
