After WW2, Germany was divided in different Occupation Zones and the area stretching from the Belgian border to the East was occupied by the 1st Belgian Corps. There were Belgians in Soest (Nordrhein-Westfalen) until 1994, when the 4th Belgian Brigade was disbanded.

Shown left are two riders, one from an unknown Belgian unit and another of the Canadian Army.
They are watching a military vehicle column on the 'Hiddingserweg' (B1 Road) in Soest.

The uniforms, Sten Gun and insignia all date this picture to the early 1950's.
The Belgian Sergeant rides an FN (Fabrique Nationale) Mk XIII Motorcycle with special front fork suspension.

The WLC on the right is a standard 43WLC 'Export' version with the rear luggage carrier removed.
The markings on the front fnder are not clear.

Note the GMC Truck in the background. The Belgians would use these trucks well into the 1970's.
