Battle of Buggenhout
The Battle of Buggenhout was a battle fought at the beginning of the First World War at Buggenhout, between Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels in Belgium. It was a Belgian offensive German troops to the south and coordinated at Dendermonde. The Belgians planned to exploit German troops movements away from Antwerp and to assist the French army on the Marne. King Albert I the Belgian Commander in Chief, saw that the Germans had strengthened most of their positions south of Antwerp and reduced the attack to an operation against ドイツ語:''Landwehr Brigade 37'', which had advanced from Brussels towards Dendermonde. The attack was made by the 4th and 5th divisions of the field army. The 4th Division advanced from Grembergen and Hamme, as the 2nd and 5th regiments フランス語:''Chasseurs à pied'' of the 5th Division attacked on the left flank from Bornem and Puurs, as the Cavalry Division attacked Aalst from the west. The operation was suspended, after German artillery began a preliminary bombardment of the forts of the National redoubt.

Most detachments were able to return to Antwerp but some were discovered, surrounded, killed or taken prisoner and the Germans inflicted reprisals on the civilians nearby. Ten motor-cyclists unpinned the rails between Bilzen and Tongeren, where two hours later a German troop train was derailed. Germans troops entered Bilzen, shot eight civilians and set fire to part of the village.

Shortly afterwards the bodies of two civilians were found near the scene of the skirmish and several houses were seen to have been burnt down.
A German proclamation was issued on 25 September by the Governor-General,
