In August 1944, the Polar Bears acted as Monty's left flank. Following the battle for Normandy, they played a key role in the capture of Le Havre, campaigned vigorously in Belgium and helped to take Arnhem. In the final weeks of the war they played a humanitarian role by bringing much-needed food supplies to the starving population of Holland.
