Joe's Bridge

About

Joe's Bridge is the nickname given to Bridge No.9 on the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, in the Belgian city of Lommel just south of the Belgian-Dutch border. The bridge was captured by British troops in September 1944, becoming the springboard for the ground offensive of Operation Market-Garden.
