Save Bastogne Barrack's!

[Tinky]

Hello,

Many of you know Bastogne, the Nut's City. Maybe a little less familiar with the barracks.

Formerly 1st Field Artillery Regt, which became a museum, the "Bastogne Barracks" (free by the way)

This historic site was the headquarters of Gen. McAuliffe during the Battle of the Bulge. He was the defender of the siege of Bastogne.

For some time, I hear noises about closing the site.

Belonging to the Belgian army and to budget restrictions, the site is particularly threatened. Already the MRA (Royal Museum of the Army) has sold collectibles to scrap dealers ... Even if denied, I have it from reliable sources ...

Many former suspected that Bastogne was close, either OK BUT NOT MUSEUM dammit ...

Since recently, it circulates a petition on Facebook compounding my fears ...
